Former Minister of Transport and Aviation, Chief Ebenezer Babatope believes that sincerity of purpose by President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress would go a long way in addressing Nigeria’s present security and social challenges.
The other time they were talking of one boy who runs Sahara Reporters being arrested. And I heard a young man from the North on television saying that the North should not participate in the protests. We should be off that now. I’m not saying that in the federation, the issue of ethnicity should be driven to the background. I am saying that we should be off it because Biafra had raised that issue and we thought we had solved it but now we are back to square one.I do not support that any more.
Look at what they are doing to the Shiites. I lament that innocent people were killed. But what we are doing to them is it right? Courts have ruled that the man, El-Zakzaky and his wife should be granted bail so they can go for treatment but nobody listened until many lives were lost in Police-Shiites clashes all over the place. The court has again granted them bail to go and take their treatment. I was told that they have been released.
It doesn’t worry me. The Yoruba people have got very sound culture. We respect our elders. Don’t mind whatever disagreements we have in the papers; we respect our elders whether they are of the APC, PDP, Afenifere or non-Afenifere. And Papa Awolowo in his lifetime did not say that he was a Yoruba irredentist. All he said was to guide Nigeria to success.
I doubt your optimism sir. Obasanjo offered Nigerians the best in so many years, paid out her debt. Today, the debt has been accumulated again. As long as presidency moves round... Incompetence will persist.
