“I have enough reason to want the country to break down but this is a time to work for the peace and unity of our dear country,” Okorocha said in an event to mark his 59th birthday on Sunday night, Peoples Gazette in a report.

“I am dedicating this birthday to a united Nigeria, I beg you to pray and support Buhari’s administration to tackle insecurity and restore peace in Nigeria. I plead with the clergymen to use the pulpit to preach for the unity of Nigeria,” he added.

The former governor who lamented on the increased violence and bloodshed across the country, said, “My heart bleeds with the killing of countless Nigerians; the bloodbath in the country is worrisome but it is not over with Nigeria yet as there are better days ahead.”

Insecurity is almost enveloping the whole country with unknown gunmen killing and burning down public properties in the South-East, while bandits, kidnappers, and Boko Haram terrorists ravage the entire northern part of the country.
