The
Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Wednesday said Nigeria would remain a
united country.
Speaking at a meeting with the 36 state
governors in Abuja, Mr. Osinbajo told the governors that they “must ensure the
security of lives and property” in their states, adding “Nigeria is
indissoluble.”
The meeting is part of a series of meetings the
acting president is having with ethnic, religious and political leaders to
douse tensions in the country.
The tensions got worse after a Northern youth
coalition asked all Igbos living in Northern Nigeria to leave.
The call has been condemned by local and national
officials including the federal government.
“We must not allow careless use of words to
degenerate into crisis,” Mr. Osinbajo told the governors.
