Atiku’s comment on Igbo, Yoruba capable of dividing Nigeria — Kingsley Moghalu
A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has expressed disappointment over a comment by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar that Northers don’t need Igbo or Yoruba to be president.
He described the statement as a direct appeal to divisive ethnic sentiment and a denigration of the largest ethnic groups in Southern Nigeria.
“I was very disappointed to view the video clip of H.E. Atiku Abubakar @atiku, a former Vice-President of Nigeria, telling an audience in Kaduna that what the North needs is a northerner to be President, and not a Yoruba or Igbo candidate.
“All candidates in the 2023 presidential election must avoid ethnic or other divisive sentimental appeals, Moghalu said
He ought to have realized that what he said can lead to separation in the country
That means he will only concentrate on hausa people if he eventually become Nigeria president
that is a lie cuz he only said the truth…….
