President Muhammadu Buhari has issue a warning to Niger Delta Militants, saying that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable.
He gave the warning on Wednesday, July 6, while receiving a cross-section of Nigerians who came to pay him Sallah homage at the presidential villa.
Buhari further stated that his government plans to find out how many militant groups there are and persuade them to drop their arms.
Buhari said: “We have to concentrate on the militants to try to know how many of them in terms of groupings, try to get in touch with their leadership, to try to persuade them to please give Nigeria a chance.
“I assure them that when we were very junior officers, we were told by our leaders, by the Head of State which was Gen. Gowon that to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done.
“We never thought of oil. What we were after is one Nigeria. Please, pass the message to the militants that one Nigeria is not negotiable.
“And I pray they better accept it. The constitution is very clear. I assure them there would justice.”
