The Presidency says that President Muhammadu Buhari can’t be intimidated or bullief by secession agitation.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Shehu, said this on Tuesday in Abuja at an event organised by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Professional Forum to showcase the achievements of the President Buhari-led administration.
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.
Shehu therefore, 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,” he said.
