Even in America, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/24\/president-muhammadu-buharis-speech-at-un-general-debate\/\">racism<\/a>. It\u2019s how the leadership manages it that will determine how pronounced it will become,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve never been one in Nigeria. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve read and heard about the amalgamation that took place in 1914. So, you have different nationalities, ethnic groups forced together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some point, we were managing ourselves, until that first coup when some of our leaders were summarily executed and then the ethnic tension started rising from that moment onwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Nigeria is not one, but I believe Nigeria can be one if we have the right type of leadership. We lost that opportunity 28 years ago when chief Abiola won an election that was not in any doubt. He was voted for across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But unfortunately, some people chose to kill that election and we have suffered and paid dearly for it in the last 28 years. By 2023, it will be exactly 30 years that we lost that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I believe and I\u2019m dreaming that someone will emerge, who has that template that Abiola had. Until we find that template, and we revalidate that example, it may be difficult for Nigeria to unite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, the biggest problem confronting Nigeria today is the lack of unity and that is why everybody is agitating that they want to go their separate ways.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former presidential candidate, Dele Momodu on Sunday stated that the opportunity for fostering true unity among Nigerians was lost following the annulment of the 1993 elections.
