Following the incessant kidnapping, Banditry and insecurity rocking the nation, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode predicted that Nigeria could be on the brink of a second civil war.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Fani-Kayode said the only way to stop the impending war is for Nigerians to come together and unite.
He asserted that Nigeria is divided into regional, ethnic and religious lines, saying that discussing together as a nation will foster peace and unity.
Fani-Kayode called on President Muhammadu Buhari to wake up to his responsibility of securing the nation.
He said: “It is time for us to come together as a nation in order to avert a civil war.
“This country is on the brink of war. The security situation is so bad that it is not just good enough for us to get up and be throwing stones. We have got to proffer solutions to the problems that we are all facing.
“This country is divided now, divided into regional, ethnic and religious lines. We can’t run away from that fact.
“There’s no point in going on about who is right and who is wrong. It is time for us to come together to talk to one another.
“Northerners should talk to Southerners, Southerners should talk to Northerners, Christians should talk to Muslims, APC should talk to PDP and APGA should be included and anybody else who’s a leader, every stakeholder in this country must come together because what we’re facing is a situation which might cause a very brutal, bloody civil war.”
