Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that Nigeria cannot afford another civil war because it will not augur well for the country and won’t be beneficial to anyone.

Osinbajo made this assertion at an interactive forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) Anambra governorship aspirants, organised by the state chapter of APC Patriots in Abuja.

He said; ‘The thing about the kind of conflict in this part of the world, developing countries, is that it is usually a war without end.

‘Everyone who thinks he has some monies stored up somewhere will eventually run out of money.

‘Everyone who thinks he can go and hide somewhere, won`t even find a place to hide, at the end, everyone will suffer.

He went on to say that ‘Even if you don’t suffer, parents, children, young and old people, and relations will suffer. We cannot afford a war in this country, we can`t afford it’.

Osinbajo appealed to the political elite to rise up to the challenge by speaking the truth and taking action to address the situation in the country.

I pray that our country will never know conflict, but I know that every conflict is as a result of elite failure to speak up the truth and tell the truth to their communities.

‘At the end of the day, it is the political elite that determines what happens in every society, keeping quiet could lead to a more dangerous situation,’ he said.

The Vice President said that the elite could make a great difference just by the words they speak. “If we don`t speak up against disunity, if we keep quiet and remain under the radar, the enemies of peace and those who want to promote disunity will have their ways.

‘And when this happens, we will find ourselves running helter-skelter,’ Osinbajo said.

He, therefore, urged political elites in the country to always speak up and stand for the interest of the country and the general public.
