President Muhammadu Buhari’s communications adviser, Femi Adesina, said on Friday that his boss can’t afford to remain inactive while the country’s unity is on the line.
Nigerians, including the president, must pay the price, according to Adesina, in order to keep the country unified.
On Friday, Adesina hosted Black Apple Media Group in his office and announced this.

“All to preserve Nigeria one,” the presidential adviser said, adding that President Buhari hiked from the South-East to Gakem near the Cameroon border.
Do you believe someone like that will sit around doing nothing while certain people strive to break apart the country?”
He further stated, “Our anthem says the labour of our heroes past can never be in vain. Those were the ones who have fought to keep Nigeria together.
“By age 20, he joined the army, by 25, he was already at the civil war fighting for the unity of this country. Mr President himself has always said that for three years that the war lasted, he was there throughout, he didn’t go for any break, he didn’t ask for any pass, he was at the war front.”

He also recalled that during his school days, there was no division.
Femi Adesina said: “When we were in school, it used to be Ife-Modakeke Students Union. They merged, they had one group together, there was no difference, so when that war came, it was strange to us.
“We used to be one, that is how Nigeria was originally, and we didn’t know any different. You are from here, you are from there, we were all together, all the ethnic groups in the country, there was no difference. To now see some things happening is confounding to us.
“That is why we must commend an initiative like this, anything that will promote unity, that will promote togetherness, that will show the evil of Fake News, Hate Speech is something that will be supported, so I want to assure you that as the Media Office of the President, we will support this initiative.
