“As fellow Nigerians we identity with many of their grievances. Nigeria is not what we all want it to be any stretch. A lot of work need to be done and a lot of wrongs undone to get us there. But while we agree that these grievances are legitimate, we also believe some demands or solutions are not and that includes the division of Nigeria.
“To the contrary, we believe that a more united Nigeria is what we need to address these problems. This was the motivation behind coming up with this event,’ Abdullahi said.
This group believe that the country is better as a united people, saying ” we ride against hate, against injustice, against tyranny, corruption and we ride for peace , justice, development and for the unity of Nigeria. “
