Buhari will call for Nigeria to break up if he finds oil in the North – Fani Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode, popularly called FFK, says he is glad
President Muhammadu Buhari is desperately
looking for oil in the North.
He noted that Buhari will agree to the division of
the country if oil is found in commercial quantity
in the region. He said it’s only with such that
the President can allow for the needed
restructuring of the country.
He stated further that if unfortunately oil is not
discovered in the north, President Buhari and
the north will continue to act as the major
obstacle to the nation’s peaceful division.
It will be recalled that last month, the president
had ordered deeper exploration of some hitherto
neglected areas in the North-Eastern part of
Nigeria and the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC had stepped up measures to
ensure a successful operation in the ongoing
search for crude oil in the Chad Basin and other
parts of the Inland Sedimentary Basin.
However, barely two weeks after, news made
the rounds yesterday that oil explorers and their
machines (as seen in pictures) landed the
‘North East region’ searching for oil, although,
the report did not specifically say what state in
the region.
Reacting to the development, FFK on his Twitter
handle @realFFK yesterday, said “My prayer for
Nigeria is that oil is found in commercial
quantities in the core north.
“I am glad that @MBuhari is looking for it
desperately.
“If he finds it he and the north will be the first
to call for a break up of the country.
“If he fails to find it they will continue to be the
greatest obstacle to the restructuring of our
nation and they will continue to provide the
greatest opposition to the peaceful division of
our country.
