SARAKI CAN NOT BE IMPEACHED UNLESS THROUGH ANOTHER COUP. SENATE PRESIDENTS AND HOW THEY WERE IMPEACHED. - Hope For Nigeria
1). EVAN Enwerem elected in 1999. Enwerem occupied the office for only six months before trouble came calling as he was impeached by 90 to 11 Votes. His tenure was turbulent, because he was an imposition by then president Olusegun Obasanjo. Members only took some time to plot and impeach him over some side issues of academic qualification and the mundane... issue of his appropriate name Evan or Evans
2). Chuba Okadigbo.. Okadigbo was impeached in August 2000 by a vote of 81 to 14 votes. Some of the charges against Okadigbo include; that he purportedly bought eight official cars for $290,000 bringing his total of official vehicles to 32. Spent $225,000 on garden furniture for his luxury government house. Spent $340,000 furnishing the home to his taste, $120,000 over the authorized budget. The unauthorized purchased a massive generating and inflated the price to $135,000. Accepted a secret payment of $208,000 from public funds.
3). Anyim Pius Anyim (2000 –– 2003). Anyim Pius brought stability to the senate, which was becoming notorious for power game. He survived a number of plots to impeach him. The disquiet between him and Obasanjo may have accounted for Anyim not seeking re-election after the expiration of his first tenure.
4). Adolphus Wabara (2003 –– 2005). 86 senators led by Senator David Mark impeached Adolphus Wabara for collecting N55 million from the then Minister of Education, Dr. Fabian Osuji.
5). Ken Nnamani (2005 –– 2007).. Nnamani became the president of the senate on April 5, 2005. He finished his term and was not impeached.
6). David Mark 2007 - 2015 . David mark spent two terms (8 years) as Senate president. He was not fingered in corruption scandal or fund embezzlement. He lost the position when APC won Majority and was succeeded by Bukola Saraki.
7). Bukola Saraki 2015 - Present. Saraki is the current senate president, he has not been fingered in fund embezzlement or financial scandal. He has survived 2 coups from Buhari's govt and more to come.
#Take note. All the previous senate presidents who were impeached was done by the numbers above 2/3 of the 109 senators. Above the 73 votes (2/3) required by the law.
If Saraki must be removed, let it be done legally. APC cannot drag this nation backward in trying to change the constitution by saying to remove Saraki as senate president, it does not require 73 senators as mandated by the law, but 2/3 of the numbers of senators present in a sitting. So if 40 senators are seated in the chamber, 2/3 of the 40 senators can impeach Saraki? That is lawlessness.
Nigeria will be great again. - Hope For Nigeria

Democracy Under Trauma:

Nigeria Youths calls for urgent adjudication on our Senate President Abubakar Bukola Sariki:

The reproached tagged on our Senate President with an incrimination is a shameful remarked to Nigerians as a Giant of Africa.



This is a traumatic attack on Democracy in Nigeria not to an individual.



Its not about Bukola Saraki as an individual but Nigerians bears this shameful tagged on our Senate President in the world over.



The honor of this great Nation is going down with such a snag.



"The wise men speak politics and end up with their opponents as friends".--C. C. Paradise #quote (US Election 2016).

this is simply the best platform where someone can ventilate or transmit his/her opinion ����. I really appreciate your courage. Don't be intimidated by the transmission government. Keep it up�

To me, I think we should divide this country, because we're no longer seeing ourselves as brothers and sisters , in order to have a long lasting solution for peace in the country,

Media did report that FAAC meeting for May & June ended in deadlock because Kemi Adeosun led ministry allegedly rejected NNPC under-remittance into Federation Account... ~20bn



Next thing is NYSC certificate saga...and there is a Minister of Petroleum somewhere...



Nigerians should be more concerned about alleged -ve20bn than a forged certificate if any.



Even if Aunty Kemi emerges from this, she would have been so badly morally damaged that she'll become nothing but a puppet in their hands going forward. I hope she remains strong enough to stand up to the bullies WISELY/TACTFULLY !

The former Central Bank Governor and Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.



Below is his unedited speech.



Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.



My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.



Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.



The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.



The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.



Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders.



You talk about Babangida and the problems of our economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?



We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?



We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.



Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.



So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.



The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two as at independence). What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North) more than the south.



I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows it. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?



There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it.



Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources.



There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.



So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said.

LESSONS FROM THIS MESSAGE



Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.



There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.



Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.



Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.



So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.



Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.



China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.



America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.



Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!



Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites.

They are the problem, not the poor masses"

Nigeria really need transformation, in our government today the mass are suffering, killing here and there no security. Economy zero. Firstly I will like the youths to stand up for their right and take over the leadership of our country Nigeria..

Nigeria needs transformation, this couldn't come unless the youths take steps to sack the old politicians with archaic ideology.

Looking at the administration system of the country, one can perceive that the system, is of moving from frypan to fire. From a lier to another.

However, youths who are being castigated as lazy should rise and reform the nation called Nigeria.

As long as God the Almighty is alive and existing, t

here is surely hope for Nigeria. Let's continue to pray for our dear nation. The pride of Africa! God's own country!

What is needful to know is to encourage youths in Nigeria to take the affairs of this nation in their hand and vote out mediocrity and let us berth a new political landscape in Nigeria. Ensure come 2019 election that you vote and your votes count. The youths form larger part of Nigerian population but get sold out to cheap politicians who has no vision nor are in tune to modern socio-political and economic trends of the modern world. Don't allow yourself to be used again, ensure in this coming election, you vote out people who are no good but only fit for the museum. I have learned my mistake when I voted for Buhari, such mistake must never be allowed to repeat again. We have credible and competent youthful leader who can saddle the affairs of this nation. Qualify politicians who seek your votes rather than resorting to sentiments. We must get it right come 2019 elections. Let us keep the good for nothing politicians who have long recycle themselves in politics and only crave for 2 things: POWER and WEALTH.

We need change, God will help us, our leaders is the course of our problems, let them change to good, the Nigeria Will be better place to live, God bless us with everything's, let help our self stop fighting, love each others, thanks from double chief.

how can I like your page when you're repeatedly calling my President liar during his democracy day 2018 speech you recorded from Channels TV. you are bunch of hypocrites.

Purveyor of fake news and subjective opinions. The world will be a better place without this instrument of discord.

My people I don't know what is happening to Nigeria. In Edo start owan east local government. For two years now there's no light in otuo and the government have nothing to do about it. It a shame to the government. All we want is your help

It is only when power is taking from the hand of old politicians and put in the hand of the youth that is when everything will change better for Nigeria

There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.



Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.



Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.



So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.



Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.



China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.



America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.



Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!



Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites.

They are the problem, not the poor masses"

Nigeria really need transformation, in our government today the mass are suffering, killing here and there no security. Economy zero. Firstly I will like the youths to stand up for their right and take over the leadership of our country Nigeria..

Nigeria needs transformation, this couldn't come unless the youths take steps to sack the old politicians with archaic ideology.

Looking at the administration system of the country, one can perceive that the system, is of moving from frypan to fire. From a lier to another.

However, youths who are being castigated as lazy should rise and reform the nation called Nigeria.

As long as God the Almighty is alive and existing, t

here is surely hope for Nigeria. Let's continue to pray for our dear nation. The pride of Africa! God's own country!

What is needful to know is to encourage youths in Nigeria to take the affairs of this nation in their hand and vote out mediocrity and let us berth a new political landscape in Nigeria. Ensure come 2019 election that you vote and your votes count. The youths form larger part of Nigerian population but get sold out to cheap politicians who has no vision nor are in tune to modern socio-political and economic trends of the modern world. Don't allow yourself to be used again, ensure in this coming election, you vote out people who are no good but only fit for the museum. I have learned my mistake when I voted for Buhari, such mistake must never be allowed to repeat again. We have credible and competent youthful leader who can saddle the affairs of this nation. Qualify politicians who seek your votes rather than resorting to sentiments. We must get it right come 2019 elections. Let us keep the good for nothing politicians who have long recycle themselves in politics and only crave for 2 things: POWER and WEALTH.

We need change, God will help us, our leaders is the course of our problems, let them change to good, the Nigeria Will be better place to live, God bless us with everything's, let help our self stop fighting, love each others, thanks from double chief.

Fellow Law-abiding Citizens, lend me your Functioning Ears. The Federal System has terribly disappointed all Nigerians due to failure to enforce all Federal LAWS and the Constitution for more than Six Decades. In fact, current Social, Political and Economic CRISES can easily be resolved, if we enforce all existing LAWS. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere." All Useless Politicians, Treasury Looters, Law-breaking Senators, very Corrupt Officials and Notorious Criminals __ in Public and Private Sectors must be prosecuted, with immediate effects. Useless Leaders and Treasury Looters are only interested in borrowing more Money from IMF. As a Global Activist and PAPA WELLNESS of this Wonderful Universe, I definitely will continue to fight for JUSTICE for all Law-abiding Citizens. May Almighty GOD protect us from Self-destruction and deliver us from the Evils of Useless Leaders and Law-breaking Senators, in Jesus Name __ Amen....... .......... #Justice4AllNigerians @PAPAWELLNESS1

As hardworking youths as we are yet an old lazy man, who in incompetent to lead is calling us lazy... God punished any body dat wat to destroy our #Democracy

#NigeriaPresidency:

Democracy Under Trauma:

Nigeria Youths calls for urgent adjudication on our Senate President Abubakar Bukola Sariki:

The reproached tagged on our Senate President with an incrimination is a shameful remarked to Nigerians as a Giant of Africa.



This is a traumatic attack on Democracy in Nigeria not to an individual.



Its not about Bukola Saraki as an individual but Nigerians bears this shameful tagged on our Senate President in the world over.



The honor of this great Nation is going down with such a snag.



"The wise men speak politics and end up with their opponents as friends".--C. C. Paradise #quote (US Election 2016).



The Nigeria Youths calls for an adjudication of this political internal conflicts to salvage our honour in diaspora.

this is simply the best platform where someone can ventilate or transmit his/her opinion ����. I really appreciate your courage. Don't be intimidated by the transmission government. Keep it up�

To me, I think we should divide this country, because we're no longer seeing ourselves as brothers and sisters , in order to have a long lasting solution for peace in the country,

Media did report that FAAC meeting for May & June ended in deadlock because Kemi Adeosun led ministry allegedly rejected NNPC under-remittance into Federation Account... ~20bn



Next thing is NYSC certificate saga...and there is a Minister of Petroleum somewhere...



Nigerians should be more concerned about alleged -ve20bn than a forged certificate if any.



Even if Aunty Kemi emerges from this, she would have been so badly morally damaged that she'll become nothing but a puppet in their hands going forward. I hope she remains strong enough to stand up to the bullies WISELY/TACTFULLY !

The former Central Bank Governor and Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.



Below is his unedited speech.



Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.



My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.



Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.



The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.



The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.



Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders.



You talk about Babangida and the problems of our economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?



We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?



We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.



Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.



So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.



The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two as at independence). What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North) more than the south.



I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows it. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?



There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it.



Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources.



There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.



So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said.
