The group was reacting to the
recent claim by the All Progressives Congress that Atiku is a nationality of
Cameroon and not a Nigerian.
The APC had since filed a motion
at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja by its lead counsel,
Lateef Fagbemi, faulting the candidacy of Atiku in the election, adding that
the former Vice President is a Cameroonian and not a Nigerian citizen.
According to the group, what
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has done by allegedly concealing his identity is
tantamount to crimes against humanity and must tender an unreserved apology to
Nigerians.
Addressing a news conference on
Monday, Abdulmuminu Hassan, Secretary-General to the group said former head of
state, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida must have realized the true
nationality of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, hence, the reason he refused to appoint
him as the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service.
It, therefore, gave him a 21-day
ultimatum to Cameroon to reunite with his family members.
This same scenario could also be
the reason why former President Olusegun Obasanjo refused to allow him to
succeed him as President of Nigeria in 2007. This much was stated by former
president Olusegun Obasanjo in his autobiography “My Watch” where he stated in
unequivocal terms that the paternity of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was “shadowy.”
We are, therefore, constrained to
state that it is such a shame that the Nigerian authorities have allowed such a
sham fester for decades without detecting, and thereby causing Nigeria and
Nigerians the opportunity to develop her country the way Nigerians would do.
The Conference of Minority Tribes
in Nigeria is indeed alarmed that the paternity of Alhaji Atiku was unlet
undetected and he aspired and held the number two position of Vice President in
Nigeria.
His relationship with Simon
Ateba, a Nigerian based Cameroonian journalist that was arrested in Cameroon
for being a spy is also suspect and leaves more to be imagined.
Consequently, the Conference of Minority
Tribes in Nigeria wishes to use this medium to issue a 21-day ultimatum to
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar return to Cameroon to reunite with his family members.
This is important to save Nigerians the trauma of having to deal with his
nationality.
The Conference of Minority also
wishes to advise Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to in an alternative solution seek
naturalization as a Nigerian by applying to the Federal Ministry of Interior in
Nigeria. This way Nigerians would forgive him for his sins and show him understanding
since he has lived the better part of his life in Nigeria. Though at great
disservice to Nigeria.
The Conference of Minority Tribes
in Nigeria shall not hesitate to mobilize its members across the nook and
crannies in Nigeria to a street protest should Alhaji Atiku Abubakar fail to
tender unreserved apologies to Nigerians, and also return to Cameroon or seek
naturalisation in Nigeria.
