The President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan, has condemned those advocating for the disintegration of Nigeria.
“Some disgruntled element are advocating for the country to be disintegrated based on some of their fake claims that the nation has failed,” he said.
Lawan made the condemnation during the presentation ceremony of vehicles, motorcycles and other materials to APC officials and women and youth members on Saturday in Katsina.
“It is absolutely wrong to say Nigeria is a failed state; say said the nation is currently facing some challenges. With collective efforts from the LGA’s, state and federal governments, the challenges can be tackled and solved.
“The three tiers of government in the country can come together to tackle the menace threatening the corporate existence of the nation,” he said.
Earlier, the senator representing Katsina Central, Engr. Kabir Barkiya, said he spent over N50 million to purchase the vehicles, motorcycles and other items for distribution to his people.
Barkiya said the vehicles and motorcycles were given to local government and ward chairmen while the grinding, knitting, and tailoring machines were given to women and youth.
In his remarks, Governor Aminu Masari urged the beneficiaries not to sell the vehicles, motorcycles and other items but to make proper use of them to improve their living standard.
