Ambassador-designate Reno (mokri has given easons why a second term for President Bola Tinubu is in the interest of Nigeria's dtability and unity.

According to him, the Southwest, and President Tinubu in particular, are reliable partners in building unity in Nigeria.

"It is therefore in the interest of all those to whom Nigerian unity is paramount to give them the right hand of fellowship for this nation to continue its drive to greatness undisturbed," Omokri said on Facebook.

"Please fact-check me: On two occasions, in 1953 and 1966, Northern Nigeria attempted to secede from Nigeria. Both times, our beloved brethren in Arewa were persuaded against the hasty and heady decision by friends of Nigeria and leaders, such as then Lt. Colonel Gowon, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and others who believed in Nigeria's unity under a constitutional order.

"Of the three Southern geopolitical zones, two have attempted secession from Nigeria.

"The only component unit of Nigeria that has never deviated from its fidelity to Nigeria is the Southwest. The Southwest, and its predecessor, Western Nigeria, have always shown faithfulness to Nigeria as an undivided corporate unit of one nation under God.

"Even at the height of the struggle to revalidate the June 12, 1993 mandate freely given to Chief Moshood Abiola, the Southwest remained true to Nigeria.

"In the last 27 years, it has been persons of Southwest origin who God used to almost single-handedly enthrone Nigerian Presidents of Northern origin.

"Umaru Musa Yar'adua became President of Nigeria on a platter of gold, almost solely by the strength of his endorsement by President Olusegun Obasanjo. Without Chief Obasanjo, it is almost certain that Yar'adua would have become a polytechnic lecturer after his tenure as Katsina Governor.

"And after three previous unsuccessful attempts to become Nigeria's President, General Muhammadu Buhari only succeeded in the APC primaries and the general election because of the backing of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"Without Jagaban, the 2015 Presidential election would have ended differently.

"These are indisputable facts, however much it may be expedient for some people to try to deny them today.

"Therefore, I want to ask Arewa to think about the future of Nigeria as one corporate and indivisible nation under God, and consider whether it
will be wise, bearing in mind Nigeria's history, to undermine the handshake across the Niger that has existed between the North and its reliable Southern allies.

"Nigeria is a multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial, and multi-religious country.

"A country is just a geographical space. Nigeria cannot remain a country. We must progress from being a country to being a nation.

"A nation refers to the unity of the people in the geographical space that is a country.

"Since our independence on October 1, 1960, rotation of power between the North and the South has been the best tool we have found to stabilise our country and strengthen our unity.

"And on the economic front, we should all consider whether it is wise to change a performing rider on a reliable horse midstream.

"While CNNMoney rated Nigeria's economy in 2015 as the world's third-fastest-growing, the World Bank had us down as the fourth-fastest-growing economy on Earth.

"Since that time, Nigeria has not returned to the list of the world's fastest-growing economies, until the International Monetary Fund featured Nigeria on the list on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

"Before that, the IMF also revealed that Nigeria, under President Tinubu, was the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025.

"Under Tinubu, Nigeria has experienced 12 cycles of uninterrupted GDP growth and trade surpluses, and, for the first time since 2015, our economy is growing faster than our population.

"When this happens for eight years, according to the verified theory of Reverend Malthus, our security challenges will sort themselves out, because they were triggered in the first place by our population growing faster than our economy.

"As such, I will, therefore, appeal to influential individuals to allow the South, and specifically President Bola Tinubu, to complete the two terms of four years that are accruable to the South, in the interest of Nigeria's unity."
