ABUJA- President Goodluck Jonathan, has on
Thursday urged Nigerians not to see
themselves as “Northern” or
“Southern” citizens, but as people and
a race bound by the same history and
constitution. Jonathan gave the advice in Abuja at
the annual National Migration
Dialogue, organised by the National
Commission for Refugees, Migrants
and internally Displaced Persons. Vice-President Namadi Sambo, who
represented the President, called for
an end to the classification of
Nigerians as “indigenes” or “non-
indigenes” of any particular state. “We must insist that in relating among
ourselves as a nation, there are no
Northern or Southern citizens neither
are there citizens of any particular
state in the East or in the West. “We are citizens of Nigeria, a people
and a race bound by the same history
and constitution. ‘We must continue to insist and uphold
our constitution that guarantees the
right of all Nigerians to live anywhere
in Nigeria without any fear of
economic, political, religious, or social
exclusion. “Our ethnic diversity, ideally, should be
a source of strength, not weakness; a
country where people freely profess
and practice their respective religious
beliefs anywhere within our national
boundaries, without any fear of discrimination. “The future I see is of a nation where
people are no longer identified by
their ethnic or religious affiliation but
by the very virtue of their Citizenship
as Nigerians,” he said. According to him, the Nigerian
Constitution and the
recommendations of the recently
concluded National Conference
guarantee the right of every Nigerian
to reside anywhere in the country without discrimination. While acknowledging the role
migration plays in national
development, the President noted that
the country has the highest volume of
international migrants, and the largest
remittances in sub-Saharan Africa worth 20.76 billion dollars in 2013. He, therefore, stressed that Nigeria,
while aiming to mitigate the negative
impact of migration, would continually
deploy strategies to encourage
Nigerians in the Diaspora to invest
remittances in social infrastructure, human capital development and other
activities. The President further stated that his
administration had made it a cardinal
principle that Nigerians must be
treated humanely and with dignify in
any country of their residence. On internally displaced persons, the
President said he had directed that
victims must be given due care and
maintenance without any form of
social exclusion. Jonathan expressed the hope that the
national migration dialogue would
help shape Nigeria’s national
migratory orientation. In her remarks, the Federal
Commissioner for Refugees, Hajiya
Hadiza Kangiwa, noted that Nigeria
was the first country in ECOWAS sub-
region to institute the dialogue. She said the dialogue was conceived
as a strategy for mainstreaming
migration into the post development
agenda, and was also a derivation of
the draft National Migration Policy
document. According to her, the objective of the
dialogue is to provide a platform for
debating the impact and linkages
between migration and development
thereby shaping Nigeria’s national
migratory linkages. She said the dialogue would also
provide opportunity for reviewing the
various operational challenges at the
implementation level. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that participants at the
dialogue were drawn from the 36
States of the federation. It also has the participation of
international development partners
such as the International Organisation
for Migration.

Coming from the worthless, crooked, divisive, bigoted and incompetent clown..


The clown just found out that other Nigerian exist..

How many time did he stop asari and edwin clerk from saying stuffs that make him look like the president of ijaw or SS, and not Nigeria? He has never done that. They say; 'na we son. Na we oil', 'Dont touch our son, or we bring Nigeria down' , 'our son should be re-elected or Nigeria become history', etc. He should correct that notion/comment from his people first before coming to tell us these words without sincerity. We know this 'Pa James' of a president is the most divisive we ever had in our history.
