President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday issued a stern warning to those issuing quit notice to other ethnic groups in their region.

Buhari gave the warning in an early morning national broadcast to Nigerians.

Recall that while he was in London, a group of Northern youth had asked all Igbos in the region to leave before October 1.

The President said every Nigerian has a right to live anywhere in the country, while stating that the country’s unity is not negotiable.

“Every Nigerian has the right to live and pursue his business anywhere in Nigeria without let or hindrance.

“I believe the very vast majority of Nigerians share this view.

“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.”

He added, “This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence.

“The National Assembly and the National Council of State are the legitimate and appropriate bodies for national discourse.

“The national consensus is that, it is better to live together than to live apart.”

He recalled his encounter with the leader of the failed Biafra Republic, the late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu 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 analysed the problems of Nigeria. We both came to the conclusion that the country must remain one and united.

“I am charging the security agencies not to let the successes achieved in the last 18 months be a sign to relax.

“Terrorists and criminals must be fought and destroyed relentlessly so that the majority of us can live in peace and safety.

“Therefore we are going to reinforce and reinvigorate the fight not only against;

“Elements of Boko Haram which are attempting a new series of attacks on soft targets, Kidnappings, farmers versus herdsmen clashes, in addition to ethnic violence fuelled by political mischief makers. We shall tackle them all.

“Finally, dear Nigerians, our collective interest now is to eschew petty differences and come together to face common challenges of; economic security, political evolution and integration as well as lasting peace among all Nigerians.

“I remain resolutely committed to ensuring that these goals are achieved and maintained. I am so glad to be home.”

.Including the killer herdsmen?

But their safety may not be guaranteed.

He spoke against the quit notice, Herdsmen clashes,

I think that's OK.
Welcome back.

Thanks to all pressure groups!

The buhari should go to sambisa forest

Without JUSTICE there can never be PEACE.

Honestly speaking, I strongly believe that if Ojukwu was alive today, he would 100% be in support of RESTRUCTURING instead of break-up.

I'm optimistic that if RESTRUCTURING and TRUE FEDERALISM are carried out, all the noise about RECESSION will be JETTISONED.

We agree. But...

Has pmb ever set his foot in some states since his administration?

okay

Buhari the clueless President, Oct 1st is fast approaching, make sure u dont run back to London.

Iranu!

look at you.....
If ojukwu is alive He will come out and decline this BIG LIE that he neva support one nigeria...


Enough of this sugar quoted mouth....
Our mumu don do....

So it's this speech bloggers intend to gloat about today

Except northern nigeria of cos.....

Bla bla bla......Whether he likes it or not, the zoo must fall.
<<<Spoiler alert>>> before any ignoramus would tag me as an iPob wailer, I'm not from the east

Baba tell Nnamdi to call his boys to order too. Dey shud stop disturbing us with "we want to break out"
God that put us together as a country has his reason

Yes

He's finna be leaving soon again then

well said.

but really, over 100 days out of office and the only thing he deemed fit to address is this? nothing about the strike, the state of the economy, his health? like he was gone for just a week, that speech should go down in history as the most uninspiring presidential speech of all time

.

Good talk from Buhari but those northerners that issued the quit notice are yet to be arrested. Till u put them behind bars I will know u are serious

Durentt:
