Former Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, Thursday said the only sure way to solve the problem of agitations for succession in the country is for the government to ensure equity, fairness and justice in appointments and distribution of the commonwealth.

The former head of state stated this while speaking to journalists in Minna to mark 61 Independence Day Anniversary of the nation.

He said, “The nation has come a long way together as indivisible united entity, it cannot break up despite agitations for succession by some groups. However, such agitations are coming from those who felt shortchanged in the affairs of the nation. The government should ensure equity, fairness and justice in all social and economic undertakings.”

While stressing that succession is not an option in solving the problems confronting the nation, General Abubakar said Nigeria would be better as one peaceful nation.

He called on Nigerians to eschew bitterness and embrace peace, no matter the current challenges confronting the nation.

He said, “Agitations by some of Nigerians to opt out is due to perception of exclusion in the sphere of things and affairs in governance as well. I therefore, urge government to carry everybody along in terms of governance and appointments.”

On the security challenges bedeviling the country, the former head of state commended government efforts.

Nothing can stop them anymore. Biafrans are fully ready, Oduduwa are also fully ready to break out of Nigeria.

Dont mind the aboki..

Do you northerners know what's call justice and equity.



Well it's already late because Nigeria must divide.

The assumption that Nigeria cannot break is the height of irresponsibility and confirms our position that it must be broken without hesitation.

Referendum is not a privilege but right.
Those who make peaceful referendum impossible makes violent revolution inevitable.

Buhari is indeed a disaster..

Damn straight!!

The people in authority and their supporters are seeing things differently, that is the major problem. So they will not listen to you.

a new deception by someone who is sponsoring boko haram who his helicopter

Easier said than done

That's one truth the average Yoruba Muslim doesn't want to hear. They believe so much in oppression.

So he knows, did he attempt instilling Justice when he was the HOS?

Rubbish, Nigeria is better today than it was in 1988 yet people did not agitate for secession then

Justice and equity has nothing to do with secession
