Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa says there is nothing wrong in seeking the split of a nation.
The lawmaker, on Tuesday, warned against military deployment to suppress agitations for secession.
Obasa stressed that force will not yield the desired result since it is part of democracy for citizens to speak out about leadership. He said although 22 years of unbroken civil rule in Nigeria is worth celebrating, there are issues causing tension in the country.
The Speaker spoke during the debate on a motion on Nigeria’s democracy raised by Hon. Setonji David.
The Assembly members advised the Federal Government to engage agitators across in a dialogue.
“Those that elected have the right to protest when they think things are not working. The right to protest should not be taken away from them.
