Apparently
displeased by the recent multiple agitations for the recreation of the
Biafra State, the President has aired his view on such protests.
President Buhari's speech is an offshoot of agitations and protests
for Biafra nation across the country, especially as the separatists
clamour the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra, who
has been in detention since last month.
The President noted that Nigerians have since independence remained
united, therefore, the people’s resolve to remain united is ever
strong, Vangurad reports.
“Our nation has recently celebrated 55 years of political
independence and continues to remain as one indivisible entity despite
several grievous challenges.
“Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed a lot of internal strife, survived a civil war and has remained united.
“This feat achieved by the country is an eloquent testimony to the determination of our citizens to remain as one people,” the Nigerian leader said.
He also added that the fallen heroes, heroines and veterans and
their sacrifices will not go unrewarded as the country continues to
strive towards unity.
To this end, the Nigerian Army has warned the pro-Biafra protesters
of their acts, noting that they may be charged for felony if they
continue with their agitations.
