Nigeria Is United, Shame On Secessionists - Says Garba Shehu

Senior Special Assistant to president Muhammadu Buhari, on Media and Publicity malam Garba Shehu, has said those calling for secession from Nigeria are its problem.

Shehu made this statement in Abuja at an event organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Professional Forum, Newspremises reports.

According to him, Buhari will not be intimidated by the calls for secession by some persons, pointing out that the country will remain united no matter what.

“for those saying that the presidency has not been talking, our position is clearly that this country is one and will remain united by the grace of God.

“You can’t intimidate Buhari, you can’t bully him, a lot of these people who are calling for secession are the problem of this country, I am happy that reasonable voices are now rising,” he said.

He expressed delight that Afenifere, Ohanaze Ndigbo and other socio-cultural regional groups are beginning to speak against secession.

“We have heard the governors in the South-West, they have denounced all of these things, so it’s a sham, Nigerians want to be one and united.”
