All Groups Agitating For Nigeria’s BreakUp, Are Rabble Rousers – Yerima

As British Empire Nigeria celebrates its 60th Independence anniver­sary many Nigerians have expressed mixed feelings over the state of the nation.
One of those who have continued to have faith in the unity of the country is Comrade Shettima Yerima, the Fulani national president of the Arewa Youths Con­sultative Forum, a notable voice and strong advocate of a united One Nigeria.
Yerima, while speaking with Daily Independent, slammed agitators of the break-up of Nigeria, de­scribing them as rabble rousers seeking attention for the 2023 general elections.
Insisting that the 60th Independence anniversa­ry was worth celebrating inspite of the hardship be­ing experienced by many citizens, Shettima said, “The truth of the matter is that wheth­er we like it or not, that we are still together, is a plus and even in marriage is for better for worse.
“However, we are aware that the expectations envisaged, in­cluding that of our founding fa­thers, have not been realised, in many ways or, expected of the country at 60. We shall continue to build more peaceful nation through the vision of our forefathers.
“In this light, we must also understand that this is a journey of one million miles, which starts with just a step. Therefore, I believe strongly that, if we are still together as a country and we still maintain the unity.
“Against all odds, certain­ly one day, we will form a na­tion that we will all be proud to belong. Then, every hand must be on deck. Nigeria at 60 is a long journey and so far so Good
