Former Nigerian military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has disclosed that Nigerians believe the country should stay united because they love their peace of mind.
He noted that Nigerians do not believe in secession.
Babangida, who served as head of state between 1985 and 1993, stated this while fielding questions on the recent agitations for Biafra and Yoruba nations during an interview on Arise TV on Friday.
“It is always good to agitate but because there is this belief that this country should be one,” he said.
“When they make the noise, they find that it won’t get supported because Nigerians generally don’t believe in anything that would disturb their peace of mind. They won’t do it.
“If you look back, if you take a place like Baga, in the north-east, the Igbo man, Yoruba man travelled up to Baga for trading, he lived very comfortably, he lived very well with the people around there.”
