Nigeria has come too far to be thinking of breaking away – Ganduje

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has condemned the call for the break up of the country. He called on Nigerians to embrace dialogue, respect and understanding to resolve their differences, saying the country has come too far to think of breaking away.

Ganduje gave this charge on Thursday at a one-day North West Citizens Summit for National Integration, Peace and Security organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) in Kano.

He stated that the theme of the conference reflected the reality of the country, noting that his penchant for national integration and cohesion informed his desire to give rights to everyone living in Kano to be recognised as indigenes among other efforts which have made the state one of the most peaceful states in the country.

Ganduje who was represented by Alhaji Usman Alhaji, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), at the event advised that Nigerians should take a cue from what happened in countries like Rwanda and Somalia to embrace dialogue, respect and understanding as the only way to resolve differences.
