More than ever, APC and PDP now have a pivotal role to play in the preservation of this Nigerian state. The outcome of their coming presidential primary elections would either fuel or douse these flames of disintegration. Southern Nigeria is aggrieved, hanging on with little sense of belonging, hence shouts of secession from all its geo-political zones. Balance need be sought between nation-building and election-winning. Where there is a dilemma, opt for nation-building.


Fielding a northern candidate, for whatever reason at this time, would most likely shake the foundations of Nigeria beyond recovery. Our religious disparities, evident in provocative events in Sokoto last week, Lagos this week and now Bauchi, questions our union already. Tension is high, all is not well. Turning down a Christian southern candidate could be the awaited trigger. This must be prevented. No presidential aspirant's ambition is worth the sacrifice of our entire nation. Let us not repeat history by trading our fatherland for porridge of dollars or any inducement. No country, no power. Nigeria first!
