Ovation magazine publisher, Dele Momodu, has stated that those fanning the embers of disunity and secession agenda would have a rethink if the “Buhari/Osinbajo magic” is felt across Nigeria.
Momodu said this against the backdrop of “the unfortunate, illogical and irrational bickering and grandstanding going on all over our dear beloved country at the moment.”
He insisted that Nigeria was better and stronger as a bigger country than as tiny fragments that some people want in their pipe dreams.
“I disagree vehemently with anyone who insists that the only solution to our myriad of problems, and the only way out of our forests of a thousand daemons, is to break up this gigantic entity called Nigeria. I say without any equivocation that they are wrong”, he said.
Momodu added that it appears the APC government has now realised the futility of fighting on all fronts adding that “the recent change of style is thus a welcome development.
“Nigerian leaders virtually abandoned the hapless people of the North East to the territorial control of Boko Haram leaders. If a Commander-in-Chief is afraid to travel and walk freely in any part of a country he leads, why should he expect his troops to risk their own lives?
“The unification exercise embarked upon by the Acting President will pay off ultimately, and this is already palpable. Tension will go down ultimately.”
