Nigeria @60: Country deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines – Afenifere

The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political organization, Afenifere, has said that amid ”divisions, tensions and underdevelopment,” it is worried that ”the country is yet to find its bearing at 60 years”.

This was contained In a statement titled Anniversary celebration released by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin.

According to the groups’ statement, it reads;
“Today, there is no happiness in the land as the country cannot guarantee good living for the citizens who are locked under extreme insecurity. “All the things that make for good living are beyond the reach of those who don’t have access to state resources.

“The country is deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines which the leadership seems to be thriving on. It is not surprising that the country is filled with separatist feelings at 60.

”Afenifere is convinced that Nigeria can still be salvaged if the right thing is done. The country must restructure immediately into true federalism lest it gives all the necessary enablement to separatist forces.”

Recall that Osibanjo, Obasanjo, both had stated that Nigeria has cracks that can break the country at any time, noting that if nothing was done about it urgently, that Nigeria will divide.
