The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed has stated that the decision not to discuss the unity of Nigeria at the forthcoming National Dialogue was taken in respect of the aspiration of Nigerians.
Senator Mohammed gave the explanation recently while speaking on Radio Nigeria Network programme ‘Radio Link’. He said that the disposition of Nigerians on the unity of the country was demonstrated when the National Dialogue Advisory Committee went around the country to collate thousands of memoranda expressing faith in the oneness of Nigeria with only one memorandum advocating disintegration of the country.
That, he said, was a clear testimony that Nigerians do not see disintegration as an option.
“I am aware of the existence of few people with negative mindset who might be misconceiving the National Dialogue as an opportunity to plot against the unity and solidarity of Nigerians as one people,” he added. “The National Dialogue would bring Nigerians closer to one another rather than divide them.”
