A Kaduna-based Journalist, Andrew Ibrahim Mshelia has urged northern politicians to as a matter of national unity redirect their energy towards tackling insecurity that are bedeviling the north, rather than playing ‘Mammy Market’ politics with the planned relocation of some CBN departments and FAAN headquarters to Lagos State.
Mshelia who stated this on Friday in a statement made available to newsmen said “it is a misplaced priority for a region which its citizens cannot sleep with their two eyes closed due to kidnapping, terrorism and other social vices to have lost their voices in that direction only to play politics with agencies that do not belong to one region alone”.
He noted that if the sudden voices of the Northern politicians were there long before now, banditry and terrorism would have ended without firing a single shot.
According to Mshelia, the North owes other region the duty of supporting the Central Government just as it was done during Muhammadu Buhari and other Northern leaders.
He warned that playing such dangerous politics over the planned relocation of FAAN and some offices of the CBN doesn’t put the northern region in goodlight in the scheme of things in the country.
He added that what the present administration needs at this point is a collective effort towards rebuilding Nigeria of our dream, he said.
