The Senate has resolved that the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable in spite of ongoing secessionist agitations in parts of the country.
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, after a closed-door session during Tuesday’s plenary, said the lawmakers agreed that the territorial integrity of the country must be protected.
Saraki said, “The Senate resolved that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable and we are all committed to the territorial integrity of our country. The Senate will use all possible measures to make sure that peace is restored to all parts of Nigeria.
He said, “We must condemn in the strongest possible terms all forms of violence as a form of engagement. The constitution and laws have laid down tools and procedures for us to push through our interest as all democratic nations do.
“Our nation is blessed with exceptionally talented and beautiful people, we are collectively strong and indomitable and it is time for all of us to stand up for our nation. Our dream of a virile nation must keep us motivated and this dream is already at the horizon.
