Nigeria will not break up – Lar

Frontline politician and pioneer chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Solomon Lar has stated that Nigeria would not break up despite her current challenges.

Lar who stated this in his message on Nigeria’s 53rd Independence Anniversary said he was happy to be part of the celebration of yet another independence anniversary of this great country.

Lar spoke in a statement issued through his Executive Secretary, Mr. Major Adeyi. He said, “It is a great privilege for me to be part of the 53rd Independence anniversary of our great nation-Nigeria. For me and those of us who witnessed the lowering of the Union Jack, and the hoisting of Nigeria’s national flag, we have every reason to rejoice.

He said, “Our experience as a nation in the past 53 years may not be all that palatable, but it is worth thanking God Almighty. The process of nation building is not a day business, but a complex one, more than state building. We, as a nation have really done well and there is hope for a greater and brighter tomorrow.

“I urge every Nigerian and all our friends to see Nigeria as doable; a nation that has come to stay, an indivisible entity that will democratically solve her socioeconomic problems without blood shed. We should not allow the mistakes of early post-Independence years to re-surface in any form,” Lar added.
