"Today we have visited this town Igboho, it is a Muslim community and we can see some cattle grazing in their courtyards.
"This is a place I think Nigerians need to understand that we need to live together. Because I have seen nothing here to warrant people to agitate that they should be separated from our beloved country, Nigeria."
