Nigeria will not break – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has again reaffirmed faith in the unity of Nigeria as he re-assured Nigerians that despite the numerous challenges that seem to shake the unity on the country, the nation will not disintegrate. The president was speaking at a Church service held at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abuja to mark the forthcoming 2012 democracy day. The country will on Tuesday, celebrate 13 years of democracy in the country, which is just the first year in the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. In a message for those calling for the disintegration of the country, due to the myriad of challenges facing the nation, the president noted that “Nigeria will never disintegrate” he emphasised. “I want assure all Nigerians that Nigeria cannot be disintegrated by any form and the present terror attacks across the country came as a thief in the night.” Reeling out the geographical endowment of the country, the president that stated that “one of the reason is because of the potential that we have and the size of the country. We have very few countries that has the kind of geography that we have. From the Atlantic sea, through the mangrove swaps, through the rainforest, the Savannah belt, to the semi-desert area. From very flat lands to the Adamawa and Cross-River, where we have hills and mountains. So it is a country where a number of things could be done because of the potentials we and the population.”
