Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said Nigeria will continue to exist as a nation Despite calls for secession.
He added that the cost of staying together as a nation is cheaper than the cost of dividing country.
The former President stated this on Friday during the Book Launch and 85th Birthday of the Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Sunday Mbang, which was held at the Admiralty Centre, Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
Obasanjo’s comments come amid calls for secession by notable separatist leaders – Sunday Igboho, agitator of the Yoruba Nation, and Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
He promised to continue to work for the peace and progress of a Nigeria that is united.
The elder statesman insisted that those he described as enemies who do not want to see the nation’s continued co-existence would fail.
