“We would need more energy to break than fix Nigeria” – Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has rejected the calls for secession. He said more effort will be needed to break Nigeria than to fix it as the nation’s strength lies in its diversity.

The Minister said this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Newsnight.

“The agitation for political restructuring is okay. However, what is not okay is the call for secession or for separation,” he said.

“We would need more energy to break Nigeria than to fix it. As a matter of fact, the strength of Nigeria is its diversity. So everybody agreed that secession is not an option.”
