As he takes over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Tinubu has addressed the agitation for Nigeria’s break up.

Tinubu assured that Nigeria will not break up or perish.

He spoke during his inaugural speech at the Eagles Square on Monday in Abuja.

The newly sworn-in president said Nigeria would exist just like the world.

According to Tinubu: “For many years, Nigeria’s critics have carried it that Nigeria will break up even perish, yet we are here.

“We have stumbled at times but resilience and diversity have kept us going and we will keep going.

“As long as this world exists Nigeria shall exist.”

Groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have been agitating for Nigeria’s break up over the years.

Similarly, the Yoruba Nation movement has been pushing for Nigeria’s secession.

While Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader is locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, Sunday Igboho is held in Benin Republic.
