APOLOGY TO MY RESPECTED PLATEAU FRIENDS.
This afternoon I made just two posts concerning National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies Kuru, suggesting the relocation of the Institute from its present site and turning the present site to a military formation.
The outpour of abuses is not disturbing but rather funny.
Watching the social media space on hourly basis, my tribe (Hausa) and faith (Islam) receive all sorts of negative statements.
If you people are hurt by my suggestions, imagine what we endure everyday from your negative statements about Hausa, Fulani and Muslims generally who are part of Plateau state.
I was born in Jos (Layin Zana, Audi Street) 60 years ago. I did all my education in Jos and I am still living in Jos with my family. I served this state in three previous administration namely Dariye's administration, Baba Jang's administration and Lalong's administration. I have been serving this state all my life paying tax, renewing my vehicle license, buying VATeable items etc all contributing to the growth and economy of Plateau state. There are over one million of people like scattered all over Jos and the state who are of Hausa, Fulani or Muslim faith. All of us consider Plateau as home with no where to go.
What you feel about my posts this afternoon is exactly what we feel whenever, for instance you people call for the relocation of University of Jos from my area, or asking government not to rebuild the Jos Main Market.
The new spirit on the Plateau should be that of live and let other Nigerians live. "Settlers" developed Lagos. Plateau could be another Lagos in the North when we learn to embrace every Nigerian and allow everyone who wants to live on the Plateau do so and to contribute his quota to the development of the state.
An exclusive Christian Plateau is a mirage!
A word is enough for the wise 🙏
