The Senator representing Kaduna
Central in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has noted that the North is now
more divided than ever before.
He said the relationship between
the Northern majority ethnic group and minorities has seriously deteriorated in
recent times.
He noted that opinions are now
expressed angrily on social media by the youths and elders in the region.
The Senator said this in a
statement on Monday, where he berated politicians and partisan public office
holders as being either party to the crisis or beneficiaries of it.
“It’s factual that the
relationship between the Northern Majority Ethnic group and minorities has
seriously deteriorated in recent times.
“This is evident in emotional and
belligerent views and tense statements coming from both elders and youths.
“Opinions nowadays are expressed
angrily along ethnic or religious lines whether it’s on facebook, Twitter Group
chat or conversations under a tree. This fault line must not be allowed to
widen to a gulf.
“The leaders of the region must wake up, mend fences and
restore the peace, love, respect, unity and order that once reigned among its
people,” he said in the statement.
“This is the time to apply the wisdom of greats like Gen
Hassan Usman Katsina, Chief Sunday Awoniyi, Shehu Musa Makaman Nupe, Abraham Okene,
and Solomon Lar.
“For now, all the bridges built and left behind by the late
Premier Ahmadu Bello are in bad shape and many have even collapsed. We must
rebuild them in the interest of the region and the country.”
