Gbajabiamila speaks on why Nigeria must remain one

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said Nigeria has a lot to make it remain on indivisible Nation, despite all the challenges in the country.

The Speaker stated this when he received the Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) in his office in Abuja, insisting that the country will remain one indivisible nation despite its current challenges.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, on Friday, Gbajabiamila said the older generation had done their best to keep the country on track, calling on the younger generation to take over the mantle.

The Speaker also assured his visitors that the doors of the 9th National Assembly would be open to all Nigerians, especially youths, adding that the House would be glad to partner the AYF on issues that would bring development to the country.

He said: “The 9th House is all about unity, which you captured in your speech. We are one united country and we should continue to remain as one.

“There are many naysayers out there, but I don’t believe we should break (up the country). I believe we should remain as one. We have so many things to remain united for. We have a lot of mineral resources. It is for us to harness them.

”We’re here for you. The 9th Assembly operates an open door policy. We will be happy to receive you at any point in time.”

Speaking during the visit, President of the AYF, Gambo Gujungu, who led officials of the forum from the 19 northern states, thanked the Speaker for visiting and donating food items to internally displaced persons in Borno, Katsina and Zamfara states.
