Boko Haram may tear north apart – Yuguda

Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda said on Thursday that the north is going through tasking periods that could lead the region to disintegrate.
 But he was quick to add that ''without the region Nigeria will not stand.''
Yuguda made the remark when he received the management of Federal Radio Corporation Nigeria (FRCN), Kaduna Zonal Station led by its Zonal Manager, Alhaji Ladan Salihu, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Bauchi.
He said, “The FRCN must use its vehicle of communication to promote peace and unity in the north. We must show our determination in re-uniting the north and to promote peace because the north is, at the moment, in pieces.
“We have serious challenges in the north. It is a big task on all of us to promote peace and tolerance and everyone must take this seriously. If we don’t do that and the north collapses, posterity will hold us responsible.
“When Gen. Yakubu Gowon came here, I urged him to use the experience he acquired as a Nigerian head of state in uniting the nation especially the north.
“If we don’t have the north, I don’t think Nigeria will stand,” the governor added.
Yuguda also called on Nigerian leaders to emulate the virtues of the late Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, whom he described as a sincere, honest and God-fearing leader.
