He disclosed this when he spoke with the Nigerian Tribune Newspaper.
Ganduje said:
"I am quite sure that Nigeria will not divide, even in the face of daunting challenges. I am confident that Nigeria will continue to be one indivisible country. I don’t want to comment on those who are calling for the split because they are young people who did not experience the civil war."
Ohanaeze Ndigbo not in support of Biafra
Going further, the governor praised Ohanaeze Ndigbo for distancing itself from the Biafran agitation.
Ganduje noted:
"I am confident because last week, Ohanaeze Ndigbo said they are not part of the Biafra agitation; they are for one Nigeria. Afenifere, Arewa Consultative Forum (AREWA) and the Middle Belt groups, all said they belong to one Nigeria."
Meanwhile, the governor called on Nigerians to try and uphold the unity of the country.
Southeast governors seek protection for Igbos in Arewa domain
Legit.ng had earlier reported that southeast leaders disowned the secessionist activities of IPOB and other pro-Biafran agitators, saying the groups don't speak for the Igbo.
The leaders which include governors, federal lawmakers, elders, traditional and religious leaders in the region, affirmed their commitment to one united Nigeria.
The decision was taken after a closed-door security meeting at the Enugu state government house.
Igbos won't secede away from Nigeria
Recall that Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state recently assured that Igbos won't secede from Nigeria.
The governor, however, stated that what Igbo people want in the country, is not to be treated as second-class citizens.
Governor Uzodimma made the statement on Wednesday, June 17 when he welcomed the House of Representatives committee on constitution amendment led by the deputy speaker, Ahmed Idris Wase to Imo state.
