Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has said that he is ever ready to fight against any secessionist group, in order to keep Nigeria one and united, if called upon again.
IBB made this remark on Saturday, in a statement to mark Nigeria’s 57th Independence Anniversary.
“As an active participant in the Civil War, and as a retired Military Officer, with the hard lesson learnt, I will never be tired of calling for the oneness and unity of our great nation. We will forever be ready to sacrifice for a united and prosperous Nigeria, when call upon again”, IBB said.
Speaking on the current situation in the country, he said even though the nation is bedeviled with senseless agitations and conflicts, there was a need for careful appraisal of our journey to nationhood.
He said: “The resilience of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to curtail secessionist agitations throughout our nation’s post-independence era, has reduced tensions and unnecessary destruction of lives and property.”
According to him, dialogue remains the best option in resolving conflicts and agitations in the country, adding that, the recent conflicts and agitations, chanting of war slogans, and hate speeches, are derailing the nation’s development and unity.
“During our tenure in government we deliberately formulated policies, programmes, projects, and even the creation of States, to further weaken unwholesome agitation for secession, and promote mutual and peaceful coexistence devoid of ethnic, religious, and regional discrimination”, he said
