Nothing can stop Nigeria’s break-up, it’s only a question of time, Fani-Kayode replies Jega

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the prediction that Nigeria would break up was still going to come to pass.

He added that it was only a question of time before the prediction would be fulfilled.

However, the former minister said that the condition that would help Nigeria to continue to exist as one country would be the restructuring of the country.

He was reacting to the warning on Wednesday in Abuja, by the former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, who said predictions that Nigeria would break up in 2015 could become a reality if measures were not taken to avoid such happening.
