Fani-Kayode Says Bridge Building Mechanisms, Understanding Can Unite Nigeria |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

No doubt, diversity in languages, religion, culture, beliefs, ethnicity, norms and values have over the years affected our Unity as a nation, leading for secession among the ethnic Groups in the country.

But, former Minister of Aviation says that Nigeria needs bridge-building mechanisms and understanding our diversity to remain one undivided country.

The former minister under former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration took to his Twitter Page Handle to make this known in a post on Thursday 25th March, 2021.

He lamented that the “fault lines & cracks are getting wider by the day, with the  allure of ethnic nationalism appears to be unstoppable each passing day”.

Fani-Kayode wrote: “Our nation rests on a fragile foundation. The fault lines & cracks are getting wider by the day.

“The rise & powerful allure of ethnic nationalism appears to be unstoppable.

“It will take a lot of bridge-building & mutual understanding to keep Nigeria one over the next few years.”

There have been calls for restructuring among different nationalists, ethnic and Political leaders, which have been neglected by the Government of the day.

These have, however, led to the clamour for Yoruba Nation and Biafra Nation due to the alleged inequality, abuse of power, lack of respect to the rule of law, human rights abuses and insecurity of the citizens.
