'There Are People Against Peace In Nigeria' - Yakubu Gowon

Nigeria's former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, has said that there are "people with sinister motives" that do not want peace in the country.

He stated this on Thursday, during a thanksgiving service honouring the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC), Yakubu Pam, in Abuja.

He said that with prayers those with the plot to hinder the country from experiencing peace will be overcome, and that "Nigeria will not go asunder."

Gowon, who was present by proxy, the former Governor of Benue State and Minister of Special Duties and International Affairs, George Akume, said that the unity of the country should not be toyed with.

He said, “There are people with sinister motives who wouldn’t want peace, but through prayers we will overcome so that Nigeria will not go asunder. This country is too big and too versed, with a population of 200 million people. A scholar said that we are structurally complex and plurally diverse.

“If our territorial integrity is undermined, Somalia will be a child’s play. We don’t have to toy with our unity. You are in a very good position working closely with CAN and people of other faith, so that together, we can re-establish peace, push forward our agenda for our territorial integrity, push forward for our oneness so that together, supporting the President, we can take our country to the next level.”
