Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State has urged those agitating for the division of the Nigeria to have a rethink, as the unity of the Country, he noted, remained sacrosanct. Masari made the call during an interactive session with the NUJ correspondent chapel members to mark the Democracy Day in his office.
He described the agitators as senseless people, whose agitations were not healthy for the development of the country, saying it was better to insist on the need to restructure the country in all its ramifications instead of the clamour for the disintegration by those he tagged as division agitators
The governor urged those calling for the division of the Country to jettison such ideas and join hands with other Nigerians to move the Country forward.
“Well, those calling for the division of Nigeria from other parts of the Country have no sense because if they have sense, they would not be pursuing such agenda and they are amongst us in this country. There is no village in Nigeria that you don’t find them.
“But I don’t think a sensible leader from that part of the Country that knows what he is doing will call for the division of the country. If the Country is divided where will you go? You don’t have any other country to go.”
Masari, therefore, called on both religious and political leaders, irrespective of ethnic, religious and tribal affiliations, to come together, set aside every selfish interests and primordial sentiments for the unity of the country.
