Senator Abdulaziz Yari said if the Nigerian elites are appreciative of the opportunity given to them by about 300 million Nigerian people they would have been working tirelessly and determined to improve the lots of the citizenry instead of seizing any given opportunity to further divide them along religious, ethnic and political lines.
He explained that Nigeria’s problems can be solved by Nigerians and as such there was no need for any external intervention.
He therefore warned people to stop making an issue out of non issue using every opportunity to forment trouble to their advantage.
On the One Nigeria Project, the Chairman stated that it was conceived as a National calling that will promote peace, unity, cohesion, stability and progress of Nigeria and Nigerians because its operators are more closer to the people in the grassroots.
Citing India as example, the Marafan Sokoto maintained that if it can attain greatness despite its over 900 ethnic tribes then Nigeria with about 300 tribes can also do it the Indian way.
He therefore called on the executives and members of the Association to work toward achieving the set objectives.
