National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Sunday said Nigeria needs unity and not disintegration as currently being clamoured for by some people.
Tinibu said this during his goodwill speech at the Special Ramadan Tafsir at the Lagos House in Marina, Lagos.
According to him, togetherness is the best option for everyone, pointing to the ravaging effects of war in Iraq and Sudan which he said must not be experienced in Nigeria.
He said, “God will not allow Nigeria to experience war. If we say Nigeria should separate, people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq. Such war does not end in time. We are yet to recover from the civil war.
“We are better together. I have nowhere I am going. Whoever has experienced war in the past will not pray for such. Nigeria will not separate; it’s not acceptable to us. Our prayer is for prosperity and more wealth for the country.”
The former governor lauded Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, for their performance in the state.
Meanwhile, Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his speech, said his government has installed 2,000 cameras across the state for security surveillance.
“We are going to install 2,000 cameras in the whole state. We will stop at nothing to ensuring dividends of democracy,” he said.
On his part, the National Missioner, Ansaru-deen Society of Nigeria, Sheikh Ahmad Raman, in his lecture, advised people clamouring for division to jettison the idea.
“Today are hard times, these are uncertain times. This is the time men are supposed to be separated from boys. This is the time that regions need to think out of the box.
“We are insecure, we are unsure, there is hunger, and there is anger and confusion in the land. This is the time we need divine intervention. If we gather and pray till 2023, Allah will not listen to us till we do some things,” he said.
