Sule Lamido speaks on Atiku ‘being’ Cameroonian
Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido has stated that
the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its supporters must be called to order,
otherwise, Nigeria as one united country will be in a dangerous state.
Lamido stated this while responding on a claim made by the APC lawyers that the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the just-concluded
election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is not a Nigerian.
He explained
that the debate about Atiku’s nativity/nationality, which started as a
hilarious joke is now threading on a very dangerous divisive path, and “we must
all rise to call ourselves to order otherwise the authority we have as a nation
within the African Union will be lost”.
Lamido noted that there were already too many cracks in the unity of the
country, warning that “if we remain on this line of ethnic, religious and
tribal differences the doom of our nation cannot be averted”.
He, therefore,
advised that Nigeria needs to be restructured to restore what the country has
lost as a nation.
“My heart is
pounding and I am beginning now to worry about Gaddafi’s prediction of doom
about our dear Country, that Nigeria will break up!
“The debate about Atiku’s nativity/nationality which started as a hilarious
light-hearted joke is now threading on a very dangerous divisive path and we
must all rise to call ourselves to order otherwise the authority we have as
nation within the African Union will be lost.
“If we do not
like the children of those whose parents chose to join Lord Luguard’s assembled
tribal natives called Nigeria, let us allow the former Northern and Southern
Protectorates secede to form their own country.
“We cannot on
account of politics continue demeaning each other. The little weight and authority
we have within the African Union will be lost. To the rest of the world,
whatever respect we have is out of shear courtesy,” Lamido stated.
