'It Is Better For All Of Us To Jump Into the Sea And Get Drowned Than For Nigeria To Divide Now' - President Buhari

President Buhari yesterday while speaking at the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabiru Usman's palace, stated that it will be better for all Nigerians to drown in a sea than for Nigeria to ever break up.
According to Buhari, the death of over 2000 who fought during the Nigerian civil war would be in vain if he ever grant such wish to separate Nigeria.

According to The Nation,President Buhari said; 

"Recently, some people who were not even born during the war are saying they want to divide Nigeria. I always say the civil war was fought for the unity of Nigeria because then we hadn’t even discovered oil let alone enjoying it. But two million people were killed. 

The way the Sahara is advancing, with Boko Haram, growing number of people and uncertainty over rainfall, in a land where we fought civil war leading to the death of about two million, for someone to just say he will chase us out? So where do we go?For Nigeria to divide now, it is better for all of us to jump into the sea and get drowned”
