Former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar has rallied Nigerian elders to look into the brewing tension across the country.
The Ex-General on Monday met with some leaders of thoughts and elder-statesmen at a round table session in Minna, Niger state to discuss some of the issues which they believe are affecting Nigeria’s unity and political stability.
In the two-day session which was organised by the Abdulsalami Institute for Peace and Sustainable Development Studies with the former military head of state being the chief host, the elders deliberated on various matters ranging from security to economic issues.
After the meeting, General Abdulsalami told newsmen that the meeting became very important because the anger in the land was becoming too much.
He said it was for this reason that the elders were called together so air their views and vent the angers of their people if any, adding that after all grievances had been aired, the elders put their heads together to proffer solutions to the problems tabled.
General AbdulSalami(rtd) sir. With due respect to you that played the middle role in returning Nigeria to democracy. I think your “elders group” (NOT RETIRED MILITARY GENERALS) and respected leaders with high morals and integrity (NOT POLITICIANS) from the 36 states should meet with the headship of the three arms of government to sort out these “bitterness” that has enveloped this nation. WGERE DID WE GET IT WRONG?
