Nigeria should remain together in ‘marriage’ – Osinbajo

Acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has urged all and sundry to work in harmony for the Nigeria project to be achieved.

Osinbajo called on those agitating for self independence to bury the idea but work for peace and unity of Nigeria.

The Acting President who spoke in Ibadan the Oyo State capital at the wedding ceremony of the former Interim National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande’s daughter, Wuraola and Dr. Olawale Solabi noted that nations with different ethnic nationalities were in a form of marriage.

He pointed out that quarrels and agitations can come up at any time but insisted that the most important thing was for them to give peace a chance and work in unity.

Recall that some youths in Northern Nigeria had earlier urged citizens of Igbo origin to vacate the region before October 1.

He said “Today is a special one for Wale and Wura. Marriage is a very large institution that requires a lot of prayers. It is the same marriage that nations go through.

“Our nation has been in marriage for a while now. Sometimes there are quarrels within that marriage. Sometimes there is disagreement. What is important is that you must remain together. You must remain united.”

Others include Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha who was represented by Barr. Steve Azimozi, wife of the President Mrs Aisha Buhari who was represented by Alh. Mohammed Aliu.

A former Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Nuhu Ribadu and renowned writer, Prof. Adebayo Williams also graced the occasion.

Ajimobi who chaired the occasion, advised the new couple to live together in love, with specific advice to the husband to honour his wife in all situation to pave way for blessings of God.

Ajimobi said “The only way to succeed in marriage is to run your home with the fear of God.
