A member of the National Assembly, Senator Balla Ibn Na’Allah, has stressed that despite myriad of problems facing Nigeria, the country will remain one indivisible entity.

He also canvassed for the support of the citizenry towards government’s efforts to fight security challenges facing the country.

The chairman of the Senate

Committee on Air Force, who spoke at the weekend with journalists after a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja, emphasised that what was binding the country together was far greater than the one that can divide it

“Whether anybody likes it or not, the truth is that this country will remain one because the factors that bring the country together are stronger than the ones that seek to divide it, and I think that every responsible Nigerian should understand this and kowtow to it as well as make sure that he gives his or her own contribution to ensure that we have a very formidable and resilient country, where we can at least begin to love one another, do justice to ourselves, and build a society that every citizen of this country will be proud of, and that is a collective responsibility,” the lawmaker said.

Na’Allah, a former deputy Senate leader, canvassed for the involvement of the citizens in the fight against insecurity, saying: “Every responsible individual in this country has a responsibility to key into this trying moment because we all must have a country first before we begin to talk about our differences or whatever our concerns are that are private.”

He added that the people who see Nigeria as a country worth living in should equally accept the fact that a country worth living in is a country worth dying for.
