“Asiwaju himself is a known advocate of unity and cohesion in Nigeria. This has been a constant factor in his outstanding political career from the time his served in the short-lived senate in the third republic to his involvement in the struggle for the actualisation of the June 12 mandate of the late Chief MKO Abiola to his much acclaimed years of service as the governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007.
Speaking, however, on Monday, Buhari said the civil war caused “unspeakable horrors”, adding that Nigerians must see unity and peace as blessings of nationhood.
