The Senate President Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, has reaffirmed that Nigeria will continue to be one.
The lawmaker also expressed displeasure over some elites of the country promoting disintegration.
Lawan was speaking during an interview with newsmen in his ancestral home at the official inauguration of NTA Community Station, Gashu’a, Yobe state.
“I believe that, majority of Nigerians believe that they should stay together, especially the real Nigerians; with all due respect when I say the real Nigerians, I mean the ordinary Nigerians. These are people who believe in the unity of this country, he said
“For instance, you can find an Igbo man in the remotest part of Yobe State, because he believes this is his country and can stay in any part of it and make a living. Similarly, you can also find a Hausa man in the remotest part of South-south, may be selling kolanut or something and even married there, because he believes in Nigeria,” he added.
The Senate President stressed that what the multitude of Nigerians required was leadership.
“We must give them fair leadership,” he stressed.
According to him, in the area of equitable distribution of projects, the federal government had done a lot in spreading projects across the country.
