Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged Nigerians to remain united and not allow international political tensions or global narratives sow division within the country. He made the appeal while addressing concerns surrounding global conflicts and the way they shape domestic debates.
Gbajabiamila noted that foreign political dynamics—particularly disputes between powerful nations and international blocs—often influence conversations in developing countries like Nigeria. He cautioned citizens against unconsciously importing such tensions into national discourse in ways that may disrupt peace, unity, and social cohesion.
According to him, Nigeria has its own unique social and political realities that must be prioritized above external influences. He stressed that while Nigerians should remain globally informed, they must exercise caution in aligning with foreign agendas that do not reflect the nation’s interests or values.
The Chief of Staff also emphasized that unity is essential for Nigeria’s political stability and economic progress, especially at a time when the nation is undergoing critical reforms aimed at strengthening national development. He appealed to leaders, civil society organizations, and the media to promote national harmony and resist narratives capable of escalating division.
Gbajabiamila reaffirmed President Tinubu’s commitment to sustaining national stability, promoting inclusive governance, and ensuring that Nigeria remains united despite external geopolitical pressures. He encouraged citizens to engage responsibly in public discourse and work collectively toward building a stronger, more cohesive nation.
