A northern socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, has criticised Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over his recent comments that present cracks could lead to a break up of the country.


While the group admitted that there were unhealthy cracks in Nigeria, it, however, said the Vice-President should not make statements that would worsen tension in the country.


The ACF cautioned Osinbajo against comments capable of creating further tension in the land.

Osinbajo, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, at an interdenominational church service in Abuja on Sunday to mark Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary, said, “Our walls are not yet broken, but there are obvious cracks that could lead to a break, if not properly addressed.”

At the service, the SGF read Osinbajo’s speech.

The northern body acknowledged that the cracks in the country were unhealthy, but noted that the nation would overcome such.

In an interview with Punch, the National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Emmanuel Yawe while reacting to the Vice President’s comment, cautioned other Nigerian leaders, to “watch their words.”

The ACF’s spokesman, in an interview with The PUNCH, said, “The cracks are unhealthy, but we expect the Vice President to calm nerves and not make a pronouncement that will aggravate the situation.

“The ACF is hopeful that Nigeria will overcome its current travails as it did in the past and even overcame a fratricidal war to break up Nigeria. To do this, Nigerian leaders like Osinbanjo should watch their words.”

While they are arming and funding Islamic Jihadists militia all over Nigeria they want to shut Osinbanjo up for saying the truth

One of the biggest mistakes ever made by the north was to openly imply through their actions under the buharis presidency that the views and interests of the rest of the country are secondary to theirs. You can only do this from a position of superior powers! The north can't boast of such with her meager contributions to the revenue of the country. Folks are now slowly being awakened to all these realities. You will now have to use the army to keep your brand of Nigeria one at all costs or The end might not be pleasant to groups like ACF and co...

If we are all admitting that there are cracks, we should all work towards mending the cracks instead of shying away from taking about it.

Imagine some unorganized miscreants threatening a whole VP.
Mhen, there was a country
