[LequteMan]

President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said the 2015 general elections would not disintegrate #Nigeria.

According to #Punch, he said the elections would come and go while the country would stand stronger.

“Despite the fact that we have survived the civil war and continue to evolve as one nation with one destiny, we have among ourselves those who continue to define us and put it that we as Nigerians cannot live together.

“As the 2015 elections draw near, the doom’s day sayers are out and predicting how Nigeria is going to catch fire next year.‎ In the opinion of some so-called experts, our ethnic and religious differences is bound to boil over. They portray us doomed to fail.

“But I can say categorically that‎ Nigeria will not disintegrate, we will not fail. We will surely get over our challenges and become even a stronger nation.

“If you spend a lot of time on the Internet, the social media, you will be attempted to think along the same line. In a country of over 170 million people, the opinion of very few is now being elevated above that of over 100 million Nigerians.”
