Senator representing Zamfara West Senatorial District and former Governor of Zamfara State, Alh. Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar (Marafan Sokoto) has urged Nigerian elites to reciprocate the trust given to them by Nigerians through provision of quality leadership at all levels of Government.
He made the plea in his capacity as Chairman of One Nigeria Project, an amalgamation of former elected Local government Council Chairmen of Nigeria, the National Association of former elected Chairmen of Local Government Councils of Nigeria (NALGON) at the official flag off of the project held at NAF Conference Center, Kado Abuja.
This was contained in a statement signed by Alh Ibrahim Muhammad,Danmadamin Birnin Magaji, Chairman Publicity committee of A. A Yari political organisation issued to newsmen.
Senator Abdulaziz Yari said if the Nigerian elites are appreciative of the opportunity given to them by about 300 million Nigerian people they would have been working tirelessly and determined to improve the lots of the citizenry instead of seizing any given opportunity to further divide them along religious, ethnic and political lines.
He explained that Nigeria’s problems can be solved by Nigerians and as such there was no need for any external intervention.
He therefore warned people to stop making an issue out of non issue using every opportunity to forment trouble to their advantage.
On the One Nigeria Project, the Chairman stated that it was conceived as a National calling that will promote peace, unity, cohesion, stability and progress of Nigeria and Nigerians because its operators are more closer to the people in the grassroots.
Citing India as example, the Marafan Sokoto maintained that if it can attain greatness despite its over 900 ethnic tribes then Nigeria with about 300 tribes can also do it the Indian way. He therefore called on the executives and members of the Association to work toward achieving the set objectives.
In his remark, National Chairman of the Association, Barrister Shaba Ibrahim pledged their resolve to justify the confidence reposed in them.
Dr. Lawal M Liman (Gabɗon Ƙaura), Chairman A A Yari Political Organization and Chairman of Board Of Directors, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika Zaria, Kaduna State was elected as Deputy National Chairman, North of the Association while Hon. Aliyu Abubakar MC (Ɗanmasanin Tsafe) will serve as its National Organising Secretary..
