President Muhammadu Buhari has
send a clear note of warning to
groups agitating for the carving out
of what they called Biafra from
Nigeria, saying his administration
will confront and crush them.

The president while urging them to
perish such thoughts, reiterated that
the corporate existence of Nigeria as
a single entity is not a subject of
debate and will not be compromised
under whatever guise.

He gave the warning in an address
at the investiture of the Obi of
Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred
Achebe, as the 7th Chancellor of the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Buhari who was represented by the
Minister of State for Education,
Anthony Onwuka, said the menace of
insurgency and actions of those
agitating for the dismemberment of
the country would be surmounted.

According to him, “The country is
currently facing challenges of
insurgency and other forms of
insecurity that have become a threat
to Nigerians to live their country
and be educated in their country.

The security situation in the country
entails that every Nigerian must
discharge his responsibility in
bringing about peaceful coexistence.

“The menace of insurgency and
actions of some people agitating for
dismemberment of this country will
be surmounted.

I therefore sound a note of serious
warning that the corporate existence
of Nigeria as a single entity is not a
subject of debate and will not be
compromised.

“This administration will put in
place sustainable programme which
will put our education system back
on sound track.

The university should on their own
part key into the wave of change
across the country. As pacesetters,
the universities must avoid any
corrupt practices.”
