“I know that these are things that are dear to his heart. We want to assure you that Nigeria will continue to exist, because the cost for Nigeria not to continue to exist is much more than the cost for us to make Nigeria to continue to exist.
“There are many people — high and low — who can be described as enemies of Nigeria, but they will not win over those who are friends of Nigeria.”
