Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, has rejected the calls for secession, saying that more effort is needed to break the country than to fix it.
The Minister said this on Monday, April 26 during an interview with Channels TV.
According to him, “The agitation for political restructuring is okay. However, what is not okay is the call for secession or for separation.
We would need more energy to break Nigeria than to fix it. As a matter of fact, the strength of Nigeria is its diversity. So everybody agreed that secession is not an option.”
