It is quite unfortunate that some Nigerians are always ignoring the truth and out of their selfish interest acting and reacting on religious and regional sentiments over the condition of Yar’adua’s health and the status of Jonathan as acting President of Nigeria. As far as I am concerned, at this critical moment, having Christian or Muslim leader should not be an Agenda to Nigeria. What Nigeria is in dire need is a good leader who will move this country forward, even if he doesn’t have a religion at all, not to mention the part of the country where he comes from. I am a Muslim, from Northern Nigeria, who believes in the Holy Qur’an and the Hadeeths (Prophetic Traditions), but I won’t mind having a Christian or even pagan President coming from any part of this country provided he is physically fit, and will lead and serve my beloved country Nigeria well. Besides, what mechanism is the “so called Shugabannin Arewa” (meaning Northern leaders) putting in place towards the development of Arewa and its people? For instance, what are they contributing towards the promotion of “Education” and reduction of “Poverty” in the region? Very soon the truth shall be clear to all those acting on regional sentiments. Please, let us believe in “One Nigeria one People”.
