It also stated that the president will not pay attention to those demanding disillusion of the country to end their agitations. According to the presidency, calls for secessions have always been used to force the previous governments into paying agitators to cease fire. The senior special assistant to the president of media and publicity, Malam Garbashihu, said these are the national secretariat of the all-progressive Congress after attending an event organized by the APC Professional Forum.
