Following the mounting agitation for secession in the Southern part of Nigeria, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has advised separarist groups
Ganduje advised government to create a platform where the separatist groups could be engaged for dialogue with a view to find a lasting solution, saying that Nigeria cannot afford another civil war.
They acknowledged challenges confronting the nation saying: “Nigeria is currently faced with many challenges ranging from ethnic division, religious intolerance, calls for secession and many other issues which have continued to threaten the corporate existence of the nation.” He said: “What we must do as a people is to address the issue of injustice as a nation, starting from the stomach injustice which we call hunger. For instance I don’t have any enemy from the North or South West. The biggest political problem I have recently is from the South East, from my State. The injustice of stomach and other injustices must be addressed.
