Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo met with leaders of thought and traditional leaders from South east Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja.


Prof. Osinbajo first met with some group last week over the agitation for a Biafra and ejection of Igbos from the Nothern part of the country.


Here are things the Acting President told the leaders on Sunday:


- There has been agitation from some of our youths in the South-East urging secession, the creation of Biafra. In apparent response, young people in the North, under the aegis of Arewa youths have purportedly issued an ultimatum where they have set a date for the eviction of persons from South-East region who live in the Northern states.


The manner of those agitations, the method and objectives are wrong, unlawful and the violation of the laws of Nigeria and the constitution of Nigeria. I want to repeat that both the agitations for secession and the ultimatum to leave the Northern states are wrong and a violation of our constitution.


- Our constitution says in Section 2 that Nigeria is one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign state to be known by the name the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that is the law of our country.


Let us not be in any doubt about the fact that the Federal Government is committed to ensuring that our country remains united.





- And that anyone who violates the law in the manner such as we are seeing all over the place will be met with the full force of the law.


- And the reason why it is so, is because Nigeria's unity is one for which enough blood has been spilled and many hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. Many have paid for the unity of this country with their lives and it will be wrong of us as men and women of goodwill in this generation to toy with those sacrifices that have been made.


- This is the reason why men and women of goodwill in our generation must not tolerate any tendency that drags us in the direction of yet another civil conflict.


But we must be sensitive to the reasons why there are agitations by the various young men and in fact several others across the various zones of this country. Many have to do with perceived marginalization, some have argued, safety in the different zones have been compromised in various ways.


- But I want to say the only way to make things right is to do things right. And it will be wrong of us to approach even our grievances by threatening to disobey the laws or by threatening the integrity of our nation.


- What the Federal Government of Nigeria is committed to do is ensuring we listen to all the reasons, the various suggestions, the various agitations, and the reasons for those agitations and to ensure that we do justice by all persons regardless of where you are from in this country. That is the commitment of Federal Government which I am able to make to you today.


- Our greatness lies in our being together and I believe very strongly that as our royal fathers, you will ensure the message is clear to all, that the greatness of any people lies in their ability to work together despite our differences, despite the types of offense that have been caused between each other, the greatness of any community lies in unity.


- I trust that you, our royal fathers, will give us the right directional advice to ensure that our country remains together.

indeed!!

I don't bother reading what Osibanjo says

He does not say anything serious about tackling real problems

Just blabbing

This commissioner of a dwarf is a devil

So we should now convert to Islam and remain slaves in the zoo called Nigeria

Igbo enwe eze

Anybody who is requesting anything less than referendum is a traitor and a terrorist

The so called leaders might as well pull down osibanjo trouser and start licking his behind

Insults Galore , Cyber defenders , a man left the comfort of his home to broker a deal so that the fulanis who maimed and rayped your parents earlier do not get the chance to repeat it and some dimwits are insulting him ?


All the North needs is one person to claim he was hurt by Igbo , and all hell will break loose


same things your ancestors did , refusing peace deal at the Aburi talks , see how well that went for your parents


Anyway , good luck sha , there won't be war in south west , rather we'll expel Kidnapping cockroaches and the druggies and the crime developers to the northerners who would want

Seen.

He should stop wasting tax payer's money.these set of people have nothing to do with the quit north notice,Biafra struggle and no influence at all.the government knows the people they should dialogue with but can't do it just to save face

with comments i do read on these forum,sometimes i get mad,there is no love, we hate ourselfs thats all,if una wan divide these country,make una divide it make everybody awswer him papa name

The little man, osubande has no mind of his own so I don't bother reading whatever he says. I hate cowardice

GreatSE:

Fearlessly awaiting your jamb result or for mummy to provide hot breakfast this morning? Mouthy things.....

@ the bold
look at the nonsense this fake pastor is spewing. how many times are we going to tell these people that just being together doesn't bring greatness. greatness comes when a nation uses her patriotic, inspired and educated citizens efficiently to harness its resources and potentials. merging many unrelated and opposing groups together can never lead to greatness. only organized societies achieve greatness. what three organized people can achieve in one week, one thousand unorganized people wont achieve it in ten yrs.

what was the population of Britain when it controlled an empire where 'the sun never sets'; An empire more than 20 times her population? it was because she was more organized. A nation will be easily organized when the people share common values, speak one language and share common culture. homogeneity leads to nationalism and nationalism brings less corruption and more competition which brings innovation and development. this is why Europe leads. Nigeria's unity can never pass the test of logic. free Biafra!

una matter sometimes

You have nothing to say about the elderly men and chiefs from your village who adorned their best clothes, boarded transportation all the way from the east to abuja yet couldn't mention Biafra or referendum? Are they zombies or slaves that you're excusing their muteness and pliability?

You have Ekwerremmadu who has been in the Senate for 18 years and DSP for 10years yet has not mentioned Biafra or referendum on the floor even once but of course you have no insult for him.

Ihedioha was deputy speaker for 4 years yet never mentioned Biafra or referendum but of course he can be excused because of mmamadu but you can insult Prof Osinbajo?

Keep burying your head in the sand and keep deceiving yourselves

Let me guess, kanu has hidden 1 million trained biafra soldiers somewhere to fight us abi? You people always start what you cannot finish. Na we go still finish whatever una start as usual.

So the northerners have used the quit notice to call the SE to a forced parley. Now the stand of the FG has been made known to all and sundry. Be they arewa or ipob. But in truth we all know this to be a clear warning to the SE. Now they were forced to parley without promise of a better deal or a compromise . if only ipob hadn't used such crude and reckless methods, it would at least have gotten something out of this. Lesson to be learnt is always do things right way.

The Hausa Muslims have been our problems

Or are they the only Muslims?

But nnamdi kanu,the unofficial Igbo leader, also believes Igbo Christians and Yoruba Pentecostal pastors are the problem na.

All Senate presidents who refused to raise the issue yet they have nothing to say against them but they rush to insult leaders from other tribes for the failures of their own elders and leaders

The illogic of it all is amusing
