President Muhammadu Buhari has again reiterated the essence of the unity of Nigeria, urging those contemplating its break-up to have a rethink.

Speaking at a meeting with the Council of South-East Traditional Rulers at the State House on Thursday, President Buhari warned that the question of having another country out of Nigeria was misplaced.

“The question of having another country out of Nigeria is going to be very difficult. 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,” the President said.

Addressing specific issues raised in the address by the traditional rulers, the President gave assurance that the South-East will also benefit from the new railway architecture being put in place by his administration.

On their request for more representation for the South-East in his government, the President said that he was “very conscious of the sensitivities of the South East”, on account of which, he gave the region's four out of five states Senior ranking Ministers in the Federal Cabinet.

President Buhari used the occasion to appreciate the good work of the Ministers from the region in the federal government, saying that they are doing very well for the country.

He appealed to the traditional rulers from the South East to persuade their people to give his government a chance and to continue to serve as beacons of culture and traditions of their people.

The President assured the delegation that kidnapping and cattle rustling, which he described as "unfortunate" will be the government’s next target, now that “we have managed to calm down the North-East.”

In taking note of the profuse commendation for his administration’s war against corruption and insecurity by the traditional rulers, President Buhari expressed frustration at the endless nature of some ongoing trials, citing some of the cases as going far back to the tenure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

“We are asking the judiciary to clean itself. Nigerians are tired of waiting. They want some actions,” he lamented.

The President said he hoped that the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria and Attorney-General of the Federation will come to some form of agreement by which specially designated courts will give accelerated hearing to some corruption cases that are pending, arguing that “we want Nigerians to know we are serious.”

Earlier in his address, the Chairman of the South East Council of Traditional Rulers, His Royal Majesty, Eze (Dr) Eberechi N. Dick (JP), had made requests for roads, other projects among other issues, even as he assured the President of their support for his leadership and programmes.

then bubu should just go to bed and never wake up!
why should i be called a citizen of a country whose name HAS NO MEANING IN MY NATIVE LANGUAGE?
useless zoo!

It is inevitable, Nigerians are just soo faith blinded, they tend to believe that miracles happen always. No wonder we are in the 20th poorest countries with four of the richest pastors in the world!!!!!!!!! SMH

crap

.

Ok we will drop the idea and close down all the 88 branches of IPOB because Buhari the grandmaster of zombiefied morons said so.

We will now become like yorubas and stay meek like a chicken beaten by rain because a son of the caliphate has spoken.

Buhari bag of bones, you just another person in this country .
you talk as if your father put the country together.
The time has come nothing you can do.

Not going to happen, they will fight on to victory.

.. Nigeria can never be one .it is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind

Cooly100:


Have you in your evil life...actually sat down and try and see why your former country men, are ready to die, in order to have a separate country...? Like seriously...

. you get time for sick bleeps o ..that nigga is an Old clown . nobody takes him serious. he has been programmed to type bile and spill trash

I believe in one Nigeria, but injustice is our major problem. religion and tribe determines how you are treated. unless something is done urgently, it may be our doom.

Buhari should put action to his words.
And watch the Igbos support him.

Anyway thanks to IPOB, if not buhari won't be talking like this.

He has known the sensitivity of the Igbos, when they cry, Nigeria shakes.

Bubu the arewa demi god has spokane ,
Lets wait and see him live forever to stop biafra.

Dictator bubu sign

I choose not to be called a Nigerian
Reasons best known to me...
Can we all respect that?

our director, Madela of ipob youth, will celebrate Christmas in Zoo Prison

somebody should go and tell that fox that Biafra has come to stay and he can do nothing about it

Why are y'all always too hasty to defame religion and Christianity ? What has our pastors got to do with this? Instead of holding your leaders accountable you resorted to defaming Christianity. Get well soon.

Progressive01:
Baba, i wish it were possible for you to use some executive fiat to carve out that 100by100 piece of land they occupy and hand it over to them so the rest of us can live happily with no one waking up every single day with a stomach swollen with hatred and looking for people to puke on.

I wish they can just fvcking keave!

The zoo is shaking

Can't the dull.ard clearly see the determination and resolve in the agitation?? Will he live forever to stop the inevitable?? Kanu proudly wears his Biafra wristband and show it to their faces, cant the dull man see that?? It is obvious he is intimidated by the uncommon patriotism in them, which does not exist in the zoo, any time he has audience with any group from SE he talks only about Biafra and leave the issue they brought

Even marriage ordained by God is not by force . If we can remain one united Nigeria, that is very beautiful, we become a force to reckon with in the world but if we are to remain in a Nigeria that the northern feels they are born to rule , and the yoruba and ibos are trading blow now and then, then that nigeria no make sense at all.
The only place that there is truly one nigeria is in the committee of members sharing our national cake.
Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gun powder mr president. Its only a matter of time unless things change

He should face the requests the SE representatives came with and leave the Biafran issue. Nigeria has continued to sideline 2 regions in this country and still you expect them not to react...we in the SS/SE are too docile sef. I wish we were an Arab nation.

No retreat no surrender....no stoppin no dropin....som1 shld help me tell bubu
