Nigeria's Breakup is Not An Option

Nigerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday.

“Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor, Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna.

He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor.

“The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh. “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation."

“There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added.

He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.
