A national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has declared that if there is war in Nigeria, it would affect the entire West Africa.
Tinubu was reacting to the ongoing cold war between some southwest leaders and Fulani herdsmen in the country.
Some southwest leaders had issued quit notice to Fulani herdsmen in the region, a development Tinubu said might lead to war.
Speaking on Friday, the former Lagos State Governor said, “West Africa Tinubu: “If there is war in Nigeria, it will submerge the entire West Africa and there won’t be enough space to accommodate us as refugees. Those who have seen the effects of war, the consequences of tribal conflict, of religious conflict will never want it for Nigeria.
”Nigeria is currently facing a crisis; a crisis of insurgency, banditry in all aspects of security, but God Almighty that made this country as one of the largest and most resourceful countries will protect us.
”I appeal, in his memory today, for us not to turn whatever challenges we are facing right now into ethnic, tribal and religion crises.
”Those who have seen the effect of war, the effect of tribal conflict, or religious conflict, will never want it for Nigeria.
“We pray to God to strengthen our mind, guide our faith, put peace and bring peace unto this land, may Allah bless all of us,” Mr. Tinubu said.
