Nigeria Is Better Together – Tinubu

Aggrieved regions clamouring to breakaway from Nigeria should jettison the idea as the country is better together than separated.

This call was made by the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu at the Special Ramadan Prayer, “Tafsir” Lecture, held at the Lagos House, Marina, on Sunday.

Tinubu said the various agitations could result in the disintegration of the country like Sudan and Iraq and that the country is yet to recover from the effect of the civil war, adding the country can not afford to experience another war.

“For clamouring for war, 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 on time. We are yet to recover from the civil war.

He further said, “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 APC leader also praised Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat for their achievements in the state.

He expressed satisfaction with their performances, saying that the state has witnessed massive developments since the administration came on board.

On his own message, the Lagos Governor, Sanwo-Olu, vowed to fulfil his campaign promises and deliver dividends of democracy to residents of the state.

He said the state government has concluded plans to install 2,000 cameras across the state for security surveillance.

According to him, “We are going to install 2000 cameras in the whole state. We will stop at nothing at ensuring dividends of democracy”.

Sanwo-Olu assured the Islamic clerics that the proposed new Last Mile Buses, which his administration would unveil this month (May) would tackle the menace of commercial motorcyclist operators, popularly called “Okada” riders.

The Governor further said more funds would be deployed into the Security Trust Fund to empower police and other security operatives, while technology would be deployed around Lagos.
