Buhari: "Ojukwu Visited Me In 2003 & We Agreed That Nigeria Must Remain One" by deantimes(m): 8:06am On Aug 21, 2017
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to deal with anyone threatening the continued existence of Nigeria as one country.

Buhari said this in an early morning address to Nigerians on Monday to mark his return to the country after 103 days medical vacation in the United Kingdom.

The President returned to the country on Saturday.

In the broadcast on Monday, Buhari said even the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu agreed with him on the need for the country to continue existing as one.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu, then as a Lieutenant Colonel, led the agitation for the creation of Biafra Republic.

This led to a three-year Civil War between 1967 and 1970 in which several Nigerians were killed.

But Buhari in his speech on Monday said Odumegwu-Ojukwu at a meeting over two days and which lasted late into the night in his hometown, Daura in Katsina State, agreed that there was the need to keep Nigeria one.

The President thus advised those fanning the embers of disunity to purge themselves of the tendency or face the wrath of the law.

In 2003 after I joined partisan politics, the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu came and stayed as my guest in my hometown Daura. Over two days we discussed in great depth till late into the night and analyzed the problems of Nigeria. We both came to the conclusion that the country must remain one and united.

Nigeria’s unity is settled and not negotiable. We shall not allow irresponsible elements to start trouble and when things get bad they run away and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood.

Is that why you want to islamise Nigeria?Is that why you gave 95% appointment to the north?Is that why recruitment under your government favours the north more than other region?Is that why you supported Muslims who killed a female in the north over allegation of blasphemies?This is not a military regime.This s a democracy.Therefore,our unity is negotiable.U nity is not by force.

Is this supposed to be a revenge?When the same sanusi was criticising buhari's government you want to send bokoharam against him.

When their leaders were gallivanting, betraying, romancing and licking the northern ass, they never called afonja & fulani betrayals, but when they did political miscalculation with a dumb buffoon, they now suddenly realized. Instead to accept their mistakes and move on, they now became a national menace and media miscreants.

Sir, what do you have to say

ok.
Who should we ask?
Under what terms, conditions, arrangements, treatments and structure did both of you reach that conclusion because I know Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu was not myopic?
Why are you revealing this now? The PA Buhari that we know cannot even remember what he said and the conclusions he reached with people just last year let alone the conclusion of a discussion that purportedly held a couple of decades ago.
I guess both of you equally concluded that after you finally won the Presidential election in 2015, you should give his people 5% treatment.

LET MY PEOPLE GO.
There is joy, happiness and self fulfillment in being a Biafran which no body can feel and understand except The Biafrans.

Biafra as a word, is intoxicating, their flag is intoxicating to Biafrans. You cant suppress the passion.

He Ojukwu has always felt Nigeria should be one if there's equity and justice and fairness. But now you Buhari has shown us your just a Viper, giving 95% appointments to those you claimed voted for you. Trying to smuggle out CRK from our school Curriculum and smuggle in IRK under the guise of Arabic Studies.
Buhari, don't even bring Ojukwu into your parochial and narrow minded rule that has seen different parts of the country trying to seceed. If you were ruling according to the dreams of Ojukwu and many other Nigerians
no one would has thought of secession. Not even Nnamdi Kalu
