Former vice-president and chieftain of the All progressive congress, Atiku Abubakar, has commended the Niger Delta youths for rescinding the Quit Notice to persons of Northern and Southwestern descent to leave the South South region.
Atiku stated this in a statement he issued on Sunday and he enjoined everyone to imbibe the spirit of unity, emphasized that the defeat of the indomitable Lions of Cameroon by the Super Eagles was a demonstration of the fact that the country will strive and succeed if everyone is united and stop the act of enthroning ethnicity.
The Waziri Adamawa, while calling for unity also stressed on the need to restructure, stating that the country is too big to disintegrate.
He said: “No one disowns a child when he or she is almost 60. Nigerian is too old and too big to fail. Instead of divisions, what we must do is restructure our federation till it more closely resembles the almost perfect union that our Founding Fathers chiseled together at the various pre Independence conferences.”
He also stated that although we may come from different area of the country, however, we need each other to suuceed.
Atiku said: “There is enough in Nigeria for everyone’s need and to meet every bloc’s aspirations. What we need is not uniformity but harmony. Just like an orchestra, we may all sing differently, but when our voices are blended, together, they give off a richer more melodious symphony than would ever have been possible if we were to sing individually.”
He further stated that struggle is necessarily for development and urged everyone to embrace peace so that the country can progress.
