Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has issued a strong warning against the country’s disintegration.

Nigeria, according to Osinbajo, would suffer more losses if the country were to separate.

The Vice President, who speaking at the National Social Cohesion Dialogue in Abuja yesterday, stated that if Nigeria remains unified, there will be “more opportunities for prosperity”

He expressed the hope that the country would remain unified despite the activity of those who advocate for secession in the country.

According to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, “All Nigerians have a constitutional right to live, work and enjoy their lives in peace and safety under the law. The classification of Nigerians as “indigenes” and “non-indigenes” is a form of apartheid and contradicts our declared aspirations towards equality and unity.

“This is why when we launched our Social Investment Programmes, the eligible beneficiaries were selected based on their states of residence and none was discriminated against on any basis.

“Our destinies have become so interlinked as to be inseparable. This is why this administration is investing heavily in transportation infrastructure – road, rail, sea, and river ports – to reduce the distances between our people and link localities to markets, and enable trade, travel, and tourism.

“Nigeria will be a great loss if we were to break up; when we see the greatest economic advantage to our size about to come to life. In short, staying together as a collective affords each of our communities far more opportunities for prosperity than they would have if they went their separate ways.”

Citizens such as Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba Nation independence fighter, have been advocating for the dissolution of the country for years.

Currently, Nnamdi Kanu is in the hands of the Department of State Services (DSS), Sunday Igboho is being held by security officers in the Benin Republic, according to court documents.
