Gowon to Kanu: Stop This Agitation, Nigeria Can not Survive Another War

Speaking yesterday, former head of state, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, warned that no nation has ever survived multiple civil wars.

Gowon gave the warning at a national security seminar on unity in diversity, security and development, organised by the Department of State Service (DSS) in Abuja yesterday.

Gowon who was chairman of the occasion appealed to youths to refuse to be canon-fodders, just as he warned against hiding under the cover of freedom of expression to promote divisive positions.

He said, “These calls for division are not good for our democracy. What the DSS has done with this seminar is to demonstrate that the state security is primarily about the relentless pursuit of the good of society and its people, not guns and daggers as oftentimes perceived.

“Today, with the various political agitations, the multiplicity of calls for regional autonomy, or calls for restructuring of the federation or outright secession from the country has given birth to emergency nationalist agitators.

“What is definitely wrong is that these individuals and interest groups hide under the constitutional-guarantee of freedom of speech and association to threaten fire and brimstone. All Nigerians should love their country”.
