You are wrong Mr. President Elect, our problem is our obsession with our ethnic groupings. I call it ethnic supremacy thinking
- Obuesi Phillips
The President elect had last week while recieving the Akwa Ibom caucus
in APC declared that corruption is Nigeria's main challenge and not
religion and tribalism. It will be recalled that Gen. Buhari rode to
electoral victory in the last elections on the platform of INTEGRITY and
anti-corruption.
We however wish to disagree with Mr. President Elect on this subject matter. It is clear Gen. Buhari is both passionate and committed to the anti-corruption crusade but available facts show that ethnic bigotry actually fuel corruption.
We are ethnic and religious bigots here in Nigeria Mr. President Elect.
It is our bigotry that fuels corruption within us which is a negative manifestation of our way of life.
It is our ethnic bigotry that influences the sharing of our national resources, placement in the civil service, directs who is and who is not promoted or given contrac. Our ethnic bigotry places premium on mediocrity, extols federal character over merit, it influences us to act against reason and all sense of responsibility.
Our ethnic supremacy battles are fought at the place of politics. It is believed that the Yorubas have had their time during Obasanjo's regime. It is believed that the Ijaws have had their time as Jonathan's regime winds up, it is widely believed that the Hausa will take over and have their turn at the nation's politocal leadership. The Igbo ethnic group will very soon commence a widespread agitation for a shot at the nation's political leadership.
Mr. President Elect, Nigerians are extremely obsessed with their ethnic and religious groups. The Influence of the Hausa ethnic group will underscore this Buhari's government.
As Gen. Buhari settles down as Nigeria's President, we call on you Mr. President Elect to support our campaign for ETHNIC SACRIFICE.
We set this agenda for the in-coming government is to denounce ethnic champions... those who preach ethnic supremacy. Specifically we single out Alh. Ango Abdulahi, Chief Edwin Clark, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Ralph Uwazuruike and their likes across Nigeria.
