The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, has frowned at the call for Nigeria disintegration by some people, noting that the country is better as one united nation than breaking up.

The Monarch advised those calling for the secession of Nigeria to drop the idea and work together for the peace and unity of the country.

Oba Gbadebo gave the plea during the visit of the National President of the National Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Musa Maitakobi, the Chairman of RTEAN in Ogun state, Titilayo Akibu, and other members of the association in his palace in Ake, Abeokuta.

 He noted that those beating the drum of war in Nigeria are not only calling for chaos in the country but in Africa at large.

He stated that “Nigerians, wherever we go in Nigeria we must see ourselves as nationals of the same country, people of the same blood.

“We must work together to make Nigeria great because we must not fail, Nigeria must not fail, if Nigeria fails, the black race has failed and may it never happened.

“Where will over 250 million people go to? If they enter the next country, we will eat all their foods within two days, there will be no food for anybody in that place again that is why we must remain where we are and make Nigeria work and work well.”

Alake, however, commended the national president of RTEAN for revolutionalising the nation’s road transport sector.

Maitakobi had earlier commissioned a multimillion naira mosque, built on the premises of RTEAN secretariat in Abeokuta by the Akibu- led administration.

Earlier in his address, Maitakobi said the association has concluded plans to inject new buses into the nation’s road transport sector, to aid easy movement of passengers from one point to another.

Maitakobi awarded Oba Adedotun as the grand patron of the association in recognition of the monarch’s support for RTEAN.
