“The elite stood to lose everything if Nigeria disintegrated and would therefore do everything possible to preserve the nation’s unity.”

Speaking on possible break-up of Nigeria, the septuagenarian said, “Who will break it? The ordinary person in Jigawa or the ordinary person in Sokoto or the ordinary person in Bayelsa? Is it the Igbo vulcanizer or the Yoruba woman selling kerosene by the roadside or the Okada man in Delta?

“They don’t have the capacity to unite because they are burdened by poverty. We have taken away from them their dignity, their self-esteem, their pride and self-worth so that they cannot even organize for the break-up of the country.

“Up there, we (elites) unite. We will never allow Nigeria to break because once it breaks, we will lose. But the common man loses nothing. What is he losing? He is already in hell; he cannot lose anything more than this hell.”

Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, 73, stated this when youths in their hundreds converged on his residence to urge him to vie for the presidency in 2023.
