Late Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa in 1960 during his speech as the first prime minister of Nigeria said ‘‘indeed, unity today is our greatest concern and it’s the duty of every one of us to work to strengthen it. Bitterness due to political differences will carry Nigeria nowhere and I appeal to all political leaders throughout the country to try to control their party extremists.
