Obasanjo warns northern youths other groups against nigerias breakup

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned Northern youths and other groups against attempting to break up Nigeria. Obasanjo made the warning in a statement issued on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, in which he cautioned against any actions that could lead to the disintegration of the country.

According to Obasanjo, Nigeria is a sovereign nation with a rich history and a people who have been living together for centuries, and any attempt to break it up would be a grave mistake. He urged all Nigerians to remain committed to the unity and stability of the country, and to work together to build a brighter future for themselves and their children.

Obasanjo's warning comes at a time when there are growing concerns about the stability of Nigeria, particularly in the wake of the #EndSARS protests and the subsequent violence that erupted in some parts of the country. The former President's statement is seen as a call to calm and a reminder of the importance of national unity and stability.

Here is the full text of Obasanjo's statement:

"I want to warn Northern youths and other groups against attempting to break up Nigeria. Nigeria is a sovereign nation with a rich history and a people who have been living together for centuries. Any attempt to break it up would be a grave mistake.

I urge all Nigerians to remain committed to the unity and stability of the country, and to work together to build a brighter future for themselves and their children. We must put aside our differences and work towards a common goal of building a better Nigeria for all.

I also want to remind all Nigerians that we are all equal and that we all have a stake in the future of our country. We must respect each other's differences and work together to build a more united and prosperous Nigeria.

I am confident that if we work together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and our children. Let us put aside our differences and work towards a common goal of building a better Nigeria for all."
