Adamu Garba, Former Presidential Aspirant has backs the agitations for Yoruba Nation and Biafra Nation, saying they have the right to do so.
Adamu Garba while being featured on the ‘Trust TV’s Daily Politics’, says there is nothing wrong in creating another republic in Nigeria but he says it must be constitutional.
He said:
“Russia had a similar case similar to Indonesia. Now, if you go to Russia. There are 82 different states in Russia; 22 of these states are like mini countries. The president is elected by their constituency and then Moscow now validates that this guy is the president.
“What stops us from deploying this solution? If Biafrans say they need Biafra, what is wrong in having a Biafra republic in the Federal Republic of Nigeria? What is wrong in having the Oduduwa republic in the Federal Republic of Nigeria? What is wrong in having an Islamic party in Borno? There is nothing wrong with that. We have different Islamic parties in Islamic countries.
“If you say you’re going to form an Islamic party and create the government, create and make the governor, but you have to assent to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“When you do that, you find out that you’re isolating the problem from where it is and bringing about long term stability.”
Kingreporter Reported that there has been a mass call for secession in Nigeria as Yoruba Nation, Biafra Nation are calling for the break up of Nigeria.
Meanwhile Boko Haram and Islamic States of west Africa, ISWAP are calling for an Islamic nation in the Northern Nigeria.
