Former head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami
Abubakar, has appealed to Nigerians not to tear the nation apart.
Abdusalami said, rather, the
youths should build on the legacies of the founding fathers and remain positive
for its continued existence.
He gave this charge yesterday at
the official launch of Emeka Anyaoku’s Institute of International Studies and
Diplomacy, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.
“We must allow peace to reign
without which development would be impossible. Altogether, there is strength in
diversity. All hands must be on deck to make our great Nigeria greater,” he
said.
Also speaking at the event, a
former chief of army staff, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, described the present
agitation for restructuring of the country as a good idea. He, however, said it
should not be pursued with violence.
Earlier in his speech, Chief
Emeka Anyaoku, said he was humbled by the encomiums showered on him by the
dignitaries present at the occasion. He expressed appreciation to the
university for the honour conferred on him in his lifetime.
Anyaoku, however, noted that his
major challenge had been his inability to document his personal papers like his
predecessors in the Commonwealth and said the institute had provided the
platform for him to accomplish same.
“I am glad that Nnamdi Azikiwe
University has provided the opportunity for me to deposit personal papers and
books I have written.” he said.
( present agitation for restructuring of the country as a good idea,) that's the best thing to be done but the cabals hate to hear this basic truth ,to be more precise 99 percent's of the cabals of this country are from the north west of nigeria
