He said Nigerians should have recognised the benefits of unity after over 100 years of amalgamation, Daily Trust reports.
The former Nigerian leader made this known while speaking as chairman of the Wellmann Group Colloquium in Effurun, Delta state, on Tuesday, November 26.
Jonathan lambasted federal lawmakers in the National Assembly for prioritising their ethnic groups over the nation.
“There must be a reason why these people felt that bringing these two parts, the rainforest area and the savannah together, would form a better country. But that now creates a country with so much diversity: diversity of human beings and diversity in terms of religion. Then, from the amalgamation to date, we have not been able to develop ourselves to the extent that we see ourselves as one.”
