"Power must return to the North in 2015 –Shuluwa" Sun online 1/27/14
Frustration meets betrayal
This Chief does not speak for the north so it will be wrong
to cast aspersion on the whole north while responding to his confusion, his
joblessness, and anti-party diatribe. By his innuendoes Chief Shuluwa is not a
PDP member. In reality he has neither political
conviction nor affiliation. He is a politically prostituting chief. He is APC,
PDP, APCPDP member., a political jobber.
This King without kingdom is lying to himself as he thinks
of self as a northerner even when geography and Hausa/Fulani disagree with him.
Shuluwa is of the northern minority stock that Ahmadu Bello described as the
willing tool for Hausa/Fulani hegemony. Rather than allow ethnic nationalities
a choice of self-determination Mr. Shuluwa said he will fight another civil war
to enforce membership to the Nigeria union. This man is history that knows no
history. Shuluwa needs show how the first civil war helped Nigeria and
Nigerians before he threatens another one. He may have to show that things have
gotten better in Nigeria as a result of the past civil war, the war he won. This man still
lives in the past, in the 60s. Perhaps he wants partnership in his servitude to
the Hausa/Fulani hegemony.
In as much as many of us want Nigeria to remain one nation,
in this day and age, it is brute, primitive, ignorance and outright stupidity
to threaten violence for cohesion.
Forced cohesion among the ethnic nationalities is no cohesion and
intrinsically explosive. Ethnic cohesion and harmony cannot be Coerced but
reasoned, cultivated, nursed and appreciated. If Shuluwa is not anything but all mouth why has he not engaged in
the war currently raging between his people and Fulani herdsmen, where his kith and kin are being slaughtered like chicken infested with H1 virus in the hands of the herdsmen?
