Anybody Who Wants To Breakup Nigeria Has Mental Issues - Obasanjo

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria's former
president has faulted the current agitation
embarked by Nnamdi Kanu and other pro-
Biafra agitators.

The former president who spoke on Friday at
Effurun, Delta state insisted that the country
would not breakup, noting that no sane being
in his right state of mind would see separation
as the way out for Nigeria's problems.

"Will any person in his right senses believe
that the way out of our problems in Nigeria is
separation? We have past that stage. We have
many problems if we can talk about them and
we must talk about them. We must find
solution to them," he said.

Going further, Chief Obasanjo who was at the
palace of the Ovie of Uvwie Kingdom, His
Royal Majesty, Emmanuel Sideso, Abe 1 and
the Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli said that there is not wrong with Nigeria except for the people therein.

Obasanjo said: "I have always said there is
nothing wrong with Nigeria but there is a lot
wrong with Nigerians. And what we need to
do is to correct what is wrong with Nigerians.

Some of us have to speak up. If things are
wrong and you refuse to speak out you become an accomplice. Somebody is wrong I took him up.

"We have to say this is not good enough and
when we say this is not good enough we have
to offer something greater than what is not
good enough. There are a lot of things that
are good than what is not good enough.

"Definitely, dismemberment of Nigeria is not
good enough. I think harmony and cohesion is
what we should substitute for dismemberment. Injustice, lack of fairness and impunity are not good enough.

"As I watch the dances, the culture and
tradition, I shake my head. And I say it is
indeed diversification that made us who we
are- a great country. I don't want to have a
Nigeria of sameness where we all will be
dancing Akpala or the same juju.

"The beauty of Nigeria is in our diversity. The
greatness of Nigeria is in diversity of our
different languages. In spite of our difficulty,
your majesty, progress is being made.

"We have problems but in spite of our difficulty some progress are being made but we still have to make great progress. We need to make great progress than we have made, and we can do that.

"If we do that and we have good governance,
no impunity, there is justice, there is equity
and we make everybody to have a sense of
belonging and a stake in this project Nigeria I
believe we will get there sooner than we should have."

"I participated in the civil war and I said may I
never have to participate in any civil waragain in my life. It was gruesome. It was destructive. It was deadly. This is most especially for those are clamouring (of which I don't even know what they are clamouring) they don't know what war means. They don't."

Nnamdi Kanu on Thursday, July 6, said former
president Olusegun Obasanjo is going to die
for saying he and the agitation for Biafra must
be stopped. He said that the former president
was going to die.

The IPOB leader stated this in reaction to
Obasanjo's comment that Nigerians must do
everything possible to stop the agitation for
Biafra led by he (Kanu).
