“We are a country of experience. There are many African countries that never had the kind of experience we had.

“We had been through a period of violent military coup, civil war, different democratic governments and military rules, and we all survived.

“Now we are experiencing banditry, terrorism and I believe we will survive.

“If you look at the multi-ethnic/religious nations such as ours, people feel more comfortable when they see someone from their part of the country in power,” he said.

Sani said that things might change with time but that at the moment, the arrangement was more of giving a sense of belonging to every part of the country to produce leadership.

He said that given the arrangement, no part of the country in power could use either their demographic or geographical advantage to remain in office perpetually, saying that same arrangement was equally applicable at the state level.

Sani recalled that before the emergence of former President Goodluck Jonathan, there were several incidences of attacks on the country’s oil pipelines.
