The Senate on Tuesday declared that the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable.

This is coming at a time when the agitation for secession by the Indigenous People of Biafra has increased.

Senate President Bukola Saraki said the lawmakers agreed that the territorial integrity of the country must be protected.

Saraki said, “The Senate resolved that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable and we are all committed to the territorial integrity of our country.

“The Senate will use all possible measures to make sure that peace is restored to all parts of Nigeria.

“The Senate hereby advise that all groups who seem to be pursuing any agitation should do so within constitutional means.”
