Majority of persons from SE don’t want secession – Bashir El-Rufai

Most people in the South-East region, according to Bashir, son of Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, are opposed to calls for secession from Nigeria.

According to Bashir, no reasonable person in the region would condone violence or want a succession, as he stated in a tweet on Monday night.

“No reasonable person from the SE would condone violence, neither do the majority want any secession. The ones in my life & I’ve had a pleasure of interacting with (off social media) only want a conducive economic environment and Insha Allah all this violence shall come to an end,” he said.
