Ohaneze Ndigbo, Arewa Consultative Forum, and Afenifere are against the secession of any geopolitical zone of Nigeria, says Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano amid secessionist agitations in the South-East and South-West.

While speaking about the renewed strength of the Nigerian military, Mr Ganduje stated, “I will also like to seize this opportunity to appreciate and congratulate Ohaneze Ndigbo for being committed to one Nigeria.

“The Arewa Consultative Forum also believes in one Nigeria. We will continue to work with one Nigeria. I congratulate you on that.

“The Afenifere, we appreciate and congratulate you for making a public announcement that you believe in one Nigeria. The National Coalition of the Middle Belt People, we salute you for making a pledge that you believe in one Nigeria.”

According to him, APC and PDP governors have agreed to work hard to fight insecurity, ensure peace and stability in Nigeria.

The governor disclosed this while receiving some PDP ‘Kwankwasiyya’ members who defected to APC in Kano.

“All governors have resolved to work hard to ensure that the insecurity prevalence is eradicated for complete peace and stability in Nigeria.

“We are happy that the new service chiefs are fully committed to peace and stability in Nigeria. I will like to take your aspirations to the next level,” said the governor.

Mr Ganduje added, “If God wishes, He could have created all of us to be one tribe and in the same geographical location, but that was not the wish of God.”

In his remarks, the APC acting National Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe governor, extended a goodwill message to the Kano governor.
