Direct Your Energy Towards Ending Banditry, Terrorism — Journalist Tells Northern Politicians
Direct Your Energy Towards Ending Banditry, Terrorism — Journalist Tells Northern Politicians
By: Femi Mustapha
A Kaduna-based Journalist Andrew Ibrahim Mshelia has urged Northern politicians to as a matter of national unity redirect their energy towards ending banditry and terrorism that are bedeviling the north, rather than playing “Mammy Market” politics with the planned relocation of some CBN departments and FAAN headquarters to Lagos State.
Andrew Ibrahim Mshelia who spoke to
Peoples Daily Weekend opined that
it is a misplaced priority for a region whose citizens cannot sleep with their two eyes closed due to kidnapping, terrorism and other social vices to have lost their voices in that direction only to play politics with agencies that do not belong to one region alone.
He noted that if the sudden voices of the Northern politicians were there long before now, banditry and terrorism would have ended without firing a single shot.
The Kaduna Journalist observed that the North at this point owes another region the duty of supporting the Central Government just as it was done by Muhammadu Buhari and other Northern leaders.
He warned that playing such dangerous politics over the planned relocation of FAAN and some offices of the CBN doesn’t put the northern region in a good light in the scheme of things in the country.
He added that what the present administration needs at this point is a collective effort towards rebuilding Nigeria of our dream.
