Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region;
Addressing ministerial committee,
5th February, 1958
"If as a result of the agitation for the fragmentation of this great region,
fostered and encouraged as it is so much by persons seeking their own political interest, the unity of the North is impaired or damaged, then I fear greatly that we shall step, not through the gates of the future into the broad prosperity which can lie before us, but back into the past, into tribalism, religious intolerance and violence.
May God Prevent it."
