AREWA IN ASABA ENDORSES PRESIDENT JONATHAN FOR 2ND TERM
According to update from Reuben Abati on his twitter page, Arewa people in Southern Nigeria endorse
President Jonathan for 2nd term in Asaba, today Saturday.
According to the President at the rally, Nigeria is bigger
than any person and all should do everything to keep the country one. “Nigeria
is one country, one people, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian you are a
Nigerian and people respect Nigeria because of our diversity.
“We have over 250 ethnic groups with two major religions:
Islam and Christianity; and they are living in peace and that is what makes us
strong. That is what attracts respect to Nigerians and we must not allow
anybody, any politician, to divide us.
“The Muslim and Christian youths must see themselves primarily as Nigerian youths. They must work together to project the interest of this country; they must work together for the future of this country.
“They must work together to ensure economic growth and development of this country and they must work together to ensure peace.
“You must not allow politicians to use the youths to create division among ourselves,” he said.
The President criticized the discrimination against
non-indigenes residents in some states in the country saying that such
practices must stop.
According to him, his administration will fully implement
the decisions of the National Conference to address many discriminatory
practices in the society, if re-elected.
