The Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed has stated that the
decision not to discuss the unity of Nigeria at the forthcoming National
Dialogue was taken in respect of the aspiration of Nigerians.
Senator Mohammed
gave the explanation recently while speaking on Radio Nigeria Network programme
‘Radio Link’. He said that the disposition of Nigerians on the unity of the
country was demonstrated when the National Dialogue Advisory Committee went
around the country to collate thousands of memoranda expressing faith in the
oneness of Nigeria with only one memorandum advocating disintegration of the
country.
That, he said, was
a clear testimony that Nigerians do not see disintegration as an option.
“I am aware of the
existence of few people with negative mindset who might be misconceiving the
National Dialogue as an opportunity to plot against the unity and solidarity of
Nigerians as one people,” he added. “The National Dialogue would bring Nigerians
closer to one another rather than divide them.”
