We Should Not Be Talking About Someone From A Particular Zone Who Did Not Win An Election – Makinde Speaks On Nigeria Splitting
The Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, emphasized the importance of Nigerians focusing on making the system beneficial to all citizens, irrespective of tribe or religion, rather than debating whether they should coexist.
Speaking on Thursday during the 12th annual Zik Lecture at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State, Makinde discussed the theme of the lecture, “Reclaiming Zik’s World: Climate Justice and African Sustainable Development,” and stated that the country is already united.

“At this time of nationhood, we should not be talking about someone from a particular zone who did not win an election. We should not be talking about splitting the country. What is before us is not only about uniting Nigeria but also uniting Africa. I don’t think that at this time, somebody should be asking us to split the country. We should focus on building a country that is fair to all Nigerians,” he said.
He noted that Nigeria is experiencing significant political fragmentation influenced by regional political affiliations, emphasizing the need for resolution.
Former President of Malawi, Dr. Joyce Hilda Banda, and the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, addressed the root causes of African problems.
Dr. Banda attributed Africa’s problems to colonization, while Obi contended that the issue in Africa is solely poor leadership and has no connection to colonialism.
Expressing her concern, Banda lamented that Africa remains incomplete in terms of freedom, highlighting the substantial flight and exploitation of the continent’s natural resources by former colonizers.
In his remarks, Obi acknowledged that colonialism is a thing of the past, emphasizing that Africans need to address their leadership challenges.
