Former Chief of Staff to the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, has said that efforts to bring the North back on the path of progress “would hurt people.”
This was as he disclosed that efforts are ongoing to unite
and get the North back on track.
Al-Mustapha made this disclosure while addressing
journalists on the sidelines of an event in memory of Sir Ahmadu Bello in
Kaduna.
He said it would be wrong for them to sit idly and watch the
North decay.
According to Al-Mustapha: “It is better to hurt people and
get it back on course for us to achieve what we desire, so that the country, in
the end, would be the beneficiary of the unity in the North.
“Institutions in the 19 Northern states are either weak or
not there at all. We are seeing gaps that are responsible for the social ills
bedevilling the North.
“Therefore, identifying the problems and, rather than seeing
succour, we would always continue to see the crime rate increase, which is a
capital shame.
“We cannot sit and say we are from the North and continue to
see institutions decay, the crime rate increase, leaders indifferent, younger
ones in disarray, and believe that is the right environment to be in.
“We intend to get the North back on track and unified. To do
so, we know we would hurt people. It is better to hurt people and get it back
on course for us to achieve what we desire, so that the country, in the end,
would be the beneficiary of the unity in the North.”
