PMB MUST ARREST ANGO ABDULLAH AS AN
ANTI NIGERIA ADVOCATE AGENT FOR TREASON:
……How can a man like him be Calling on FG to fight Avengers
first before fighting Boko Haram? "Barry Avotu Johnson 1st"
The former special adviser on Food Security under former
President Olusegun Obasanjo and vice chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University
(ABU),Zaria, Prof Ango Abdullahi, has taken a swipe at those endorsing
Nigeria’s indivisibility, saying there’s nothing like invincibility
of any country, that Nigeria is divisible.
He said it was time to correct the mistake Lord Lugard made
in 1914, saying, “If Lugard made a mistake in 1914, let’s correct it now. Why
not? If Nigerians cannot live together and allow peace and development to
take place then let’s go our different ways and to our different places so we
can concentrate and develop our children and grandchildren in peace.
He spoke today in Abuja during the launch of two books ‘The life
and times of Umaru Turakin Bauchi at 2015 and Boko Haram: The charade versus
the reality at 2016 in Abuja,” written by Dr Hadiza Wada.
Abdullahi
said the wish of being one is Utopian, saying, “there’s nothing wrong
with that. So many countries have gone through that before. So I don’t
believe in all these emotion and sentiments that Nigeria is indissoluble .
“There’s
nothing like indissolubility in any country. Take Britain, they’ve been a model
for 1,000 years of democracy and then a year or two ago, Scotland that had been
in the United Kingdom for about 350 years opted to go for a referendum to
get out, same problem with Ireland. Soviet Union was only a super power many
years ago. Today, there are 12 or 13 countries there.
“So what is
so special about Nigeria? If we find truly that we cannot develop and
guarantee the welfare of our people as a nation and the solution is to go
our separate ways, why not? So you see this is the thing we have to always
discuss at all times honestly.
Abdullahi, former vice
chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, also revealed that the greatest
challenge to the nation’s national security is its political instability
created by politicians and Nigerian elites.
“But our greatest challenge today is
political instability created unfortunately by politicians and the Nigerian
elite. We are responsible for the conditions we’re experiencing today and that
we have experienced over the years.
“This is the basis on which we have
made slow or no progress in our development and I think we can accept this as a
fact and continue to pretend and go round and round and round and at the end of
the day, come back to the same spot.”
Abdullah who described the Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA) as economic terrorists, called on the Federal
Government to fight them before fighting Boko Haram.
“In the Niger Delta for example who
came out openly and said they’re avenging something and that they’re fighting
to avenge something? They’re worse than what’s happening in this country,
they’re worse than Boko Haram. If you’re not going to fight Avengers then stop
fighting Boko Haram.”
In her own remarks, Dr. Hadiza Wada,
who is the Author of the Books said there was need for the Federal Government
to do much research on Boko Haram crisis.
She said, ” Our intelligence needs
to concentrate on our neighboring countries that is were our support should be
coming from.
” Boko Haram is coming from
different angle, it has political angle, Religious angle and criminal angle as
well.
