Nigeria Must Prevent Another Civil War – Governor Aregbesola

Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola

has enjoined the Federal government to

act fast to bring the crisis rocking the

North-East and other parts of the country

to an end.

The governor said this in a statement in

Osogbo on Wednesday to felicitate with

the people of the state on the occasion of

the Eid-el-Kabir.

The governor enjoined all Nigerians to

support the administration of President

Muhammadu Buhari, saying doing this

would be in the interest of the nation.

He said, “With the drums of war and

violence resonating in all corners of the

world, Nigeria must do everything

humanly possible to douse the tension in

the North-East and other parts before it

escalates into full-blown war and spread

to other parts of the country.

“No nation can isolate itself from the

current global crises, including social,

religious, political, economic and hu

man which are daily staring us in the

eyes.

“What we need as a matter of necessity is

to have a clean break with the systems

that have failed us or slow our growth as

a nation; rethink and chart a new course

for our greatness.

“This is the fulcrum upon which

President Muhammadu Buhari based his

government. Nigerians in whatever

capacity must identify with the new

government and support it for the

betterment of ourselves and the nation at

large.”

“I call on Muslims in Osun and the entire

Nigerian Muslim Ummah to seize the

opportunity of the Eid to reach out to

peoples of different faiths with greetings

and messages of love and peace.

“Without peace and love, no nation unites

and no nation attains greatness in an

atmosphere of disunity, singing

discordant tunes,” he added.
