He said, “We thank God for the healthy and safe return of President Muhammadu Buhari to the country from a long but gracious medical leave in United Kingdom. While we join the rest of the country to share from the spirit of the on-going jubilations to commemorate the President’s safe return, we are intrinsically inspired to remain focus and articulate contentious socio-economic and political issues awaiting the President’s prompt attention and decisive actions for secured, productive, peaceful and progressive nation”.

“We express unreserved worry over the recurring and unhealthy agitations for separation by different groups from respective geo-political zones in the country with growing threats and hate speeches which if not holistically addressed may pose grievous challenges to Nigeria’s unity.”
