President Muhammadu Buhari has once again made it
clear that the unity of Nigeria is not up for grabs and that those
contemplating its break-up should have a rethink.
He stated this at a meeting with the Council of South-East Traditional Rulers at the State House in Abuja on Thursday.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Mallam
Garba Shehu, Buhari warned that no country will be formed out of Nigeria. “The
question of having another country out of Nigeria is going to be very
difficult,” he said. “From 1914, we have more than 200 cultures living with one
another. God had endowed this country with natural resources and talented
people. “We should concentrate on these and be very productive”, he added. Responding
to the traditional rulers’ request for more representation for the South-East
in his government, Buhari said he was “very conscious of the sensitivities of
the South East”. He also went further to appreciate the good work of
the Ministers from the region in his cabinet, stating that “they are doing very
well for the country”.
