Pres Buhari Promises Justice for All; Warns Militants, Others

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent out a message to Nigeria's restive groups – they should forget about Nigeria breaking up.

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) have been attacking oil facilities. The Indigenous People of Biafra and the Movement for the Emancipation of Biafra (MASSOB) have been pushing for a Biafra State.

Buhari insists that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable. He however promised justice for all Nigerians.

The president was emphatic that anybody seeking the break-up of the country should perish the thought.

He spoke at the Presidential Villa when Federal Capital Territory residents paid him an Eid-el-Fitri homage.

The President said the slogan in the 1970s, “Go On With One Nigeria” (GOWON), is very apt now as keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done.

He urged the militants to give peace a chance.

Noting that there is a lot of improvement on security in the Northeast area, Buhari said the attention has now shifted to the Niger Delta.

He said: "The Nigerian Constitution is clear as to what they should get and I assure them there'll be justice."

Buhari also warned the looters who are keeping Nigeria's money to negotiate and return it in peace.

Mr President said, "So that both they and us will be in peace; otherwise, we will continue to look for it."
