President of Uganda, Yoweri
Museveni, has advised Nigerians to stop playing politics influenced by tribal
sentiments.
Museveni stressed that Nigeria
can achieve necessary growth and development when its leaders avoid politics of
tribal sentiment.
He gave the call while delivering
a lecture at the National Defence College, Abuja.
The lecture, which was for the
inauguration of Course 26 participants, was titled, ‘Sub-regional cooperation
and the stability of member states: Economic Community of East African States
in perspective.’
Museveni said progress will be
made when various tribes work together peacefully.
He said, “It is high time
Nigerians stopped saying ‘I am for the Yoruba; I am for the Hausa.
“Where I come from, we have many
cows and milk. But my kinsmen can’t buy my cows because they also have their
own cows. I have cows. They have milk. I have milk. The people who help me to
make money are the people from other tribes.
“Human resources are more
important than natural resources. Look at Japan. The country has no oil, but it
is one of the most prosperous nations in the world.
“It has human resources driving
development in the country.”
