National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Bola Tinubu, has called on those clamouring for secession to jettison such idea.
Speaking at the Special Ramadan Prayer Tafsir (Lecture) for Lagos State and Nigeria, held at the Lagos House, Marina on Sunday, Tinubu said that the country was better together than seperated.
He said that the war drums some people were beating would result in the disintegration of the country like Sudan and Iraq.
According to him, Nigeria is yet to recover from the effect of the civil war, hence, cannot afford to experience another war.
”For clamouring for war, God will not allow Nigeria to experience war. If we say Nigeria should seperate, people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq. Such war does not end on time. We are yet to recover from the civil war.

Tanzania last week respectfully buried former President John Magufuli in a national outpouring of grief. A spectacularly large country, the nation welcomed with little ado the ascension to power of Ms Samia Suluhu Hassan, vice president for a little over five years to serve the remainder of Magufuli’s term.
The optics of the surviving former presidents, Mwinyi and Kikwete on hand at their successor’s funeral were telling. Ali Hassan Mwinyi is 96, still strong, Jakaya Kikwete is fairly young he is just 65, a former army colonel, protégé of Mwinyi whose even faster rise was stopped by Julius Nyerere who retired in 1985 but held on to the chairmanship of Chama cha Mapinduzi for years after.
