Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has said that Nigeria has always been a divided country.
Speaking during a Channels TV programme on Wednesday, Adesina said the division in the country started right from amalgamation and predated the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He was reacting to comments made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, who said that Nigeria is more divided than ever before.
Adesina described Nigeria as an inconvenient amalgamation which has always been divided, adding that the current administration has been making efforts to unite the nation.

He accused some people of playing politics with everything by widening the gulf between Nigerians instead of letting harmony return to the country. “So, if they say Nigeria is divided today, it is because Nigeria has always been divided. And all efforts to unite Nigeria and Nigerians never worked,” he said.

Soyinka had released a statement on Tuesday, September 15, titled, “Between ‘Dividers-in-chief’ and Dividers-in-law.” This followed the former president Obasanjo’s assertion that Nigeria had been more divided under President Buhari.
