Nigeria Has Remained Together Only By God’s Grace – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari said Friday in Daura, Katsina State, that Nigeria is still together solely by God’s grace.
When Buhari paid a visit to the Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruk Umar, in his palace, he said this.
Despite divisions that led to a 30-month civil war, he claimed that God’s favor had kept Nigeria together as a country.
“We want to thank God always for keeping us together as a country. From January 15, 1966, the country was thrown into political crisis. We had a 30-month civil war that resulted in the loss of about a million lives,” Buhari, who is at his hometown to mark the Eid-el-Kabir, told the Emir.
“We still thank God for keeping us together. We remain grateful to all those who showed interest in our unity and progress. May God continue to bless them,” he added.
Buhari further recalled fond memories of visiting the palace as a military Head of State and expressed happiness that the warmth and hospitality of the traditional institution had been sustained over the years.
