Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has raised concerns that there are cracks in the Nigerian polity that can bring about a breakup of the country unless something drastic is done immediately.
Osinbajo made this revelation on Sunday, September 27, in Abuja during the 60th Independence Anniversary interdenominational church service at National Ecumenical Centre, Daily Trust reports.
The vice president said that amid oppositions from enemies of the nation, the cracks can be mended with consistent prayer and focus.
Osinbajo used the Biblical example of Nehemiah who was very instrumental in rebuilding the broken wall of Jerusalem.

Represented by Secretary-General of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha, Osinbajo noted that there must be unity of purpose for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria to re-emerge.
He said:
“For us in Nigeria, Nehemiah should be taken as a metaphor for that Nigerians who either reside in Nigeria or outside, to cry to God to use the abandoned opportunities in Nigeria to address our challenges of nation-building.
“Fortunately for us, our walls are not yet broken but there are obvious cracks that could lead to break if not properly addressed. Nehemiah started with fervent prayers, seeking the Face of God and pleaded with his king to allow him to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the broken walls. Because wall signifies peace, security, contentment and prosperity. It signifies the essence of the state of the nation."
