“If Buhari finds oil in North he will be the first to call for Nigeria to break-up”- Femi Kayode

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode noted that Buhari will agree to the division of the country if oil is found in commercial quantity in the region. He said it’s only with such that the President can allow for the needed restructuring of the country. 

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, popularly called FFK, says he is glad President Muhammadu Buhari is desperately looking for oil in the North.

He stated further that if unfortunately oil is not discovered in the north, President Buhari and the north will continue to act as the major obstacle to the nation’s peaceful division.

It will be recalled that last month, the president had ordered deeper exploration of some hitherto neglected areas in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC had stepped up measures to ensure a successful operation in the ongoing search for crude oil in the Chad Basin and other parts of the Inland Sedimentary Basin.

However, barely two weeks after, news made the rounds yesterday that oil explorers and their machines (as seen in pictures) landed the ‘North East region’ searching for oil, although, the report did not specifically say what state in the region.

Reacting to the development, FFK on his Twitter handle @realFFK yesterday, said “My prayer for Nigeria is that oil is found in commercial quantities in the core north.

“I am glad that @MBuhari is looking for it desperately.

“If he finds it he and the north will be the first to call for a break-up of the country.

“If he fails to find it they will continue to be the greatest obstacle to the restructuring of our nation and they will continue to provide the greatest opposition to the peaceful division of our country. 

“Why? Because without southern oil the north is nothing,” he tweeted.
