But preferably, under the circumstances we are in now, we will look inward on how to save the country from this present situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unity of the country is being threatened, and there are a lot of divisions; we need competent people to come to the fore. It\u2019s only when you save the country that you begin to think of what to share.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when the country is already in a dilemma, you don\u2019t think of what to share. For example, if your car develops a problem somewhere around Abuja-Kaduna road, you will not think of waiting for a Muslim or Christian mechanic; you will be looking for an alternative mechanic to solve your problem to avoid kidnappers or armed robbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder normal circumstances, one would have preferred that in the spirit of equity, peace, and progress of this country, let\u2019s have our Christian brothers on board, but we are in a very abnormal situation at the moment now; for as long as Nigerians would agree, let\u2019s move the country forward now before thinking of what to share, otherwise you will wake up tomorrow, and there will be no Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
