Ex-head of state counsels youths on Nigeria’s unity

Former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, has appealed to Nigerians not to tear the nation apart.

Abdusalami said, rather, the youths should build on the legacies of the founding fathers and remain positive for its continued existence.

He gave this charge yesterday at the official launch of Emeka Anyaoku’s Institute of International Studies and Diplomacy, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

“We must allow peace to reign without which development would be impossible. Altogether, there is strength in diversity. All hands must be on deck to make our great Nigeria greater,” he said.
