Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has disagreed with the notion that Nigeria is a single entity that cannot divide.
He said that the country was not better than some countries that have split into different parts over the years.
Fani-Kayode is a friend of UK-based leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who is pushing for sovereignty for the Republic of Biafra which covers the South East, a large chunk of the South South, and a bit of the North Central geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
Taking to Twitter, Fani-Kayode cited examples of countries such as Soviet Union, India, Yugoslavia, among others that have split into different entities and continue to thrive.
The ex-minister said, “The Soviet Union broke into 15 different countries, Yugoslavia into 5, India into 3, Sudan into 2, Czechoslovakia into 2, Malaya into 2, Grand Colombia into 4, Yemen into 2, United Arab Republic into 2 and so many others. What makes anyone believe that Nigeria cannot break up?”
