Things Are Not Right With Nigeria, Says Sultan by akinbode1(m): 7:52am On Oct 24, 2018
The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has criticised the Federal Government for lack of coordination and the nation’s security agencies for not working for a common purpose.

As the 2019 elections drew nearer, the Sultan also warned that politicians might want to orchestrate the type of violent crisis that rocked Kaduna last week in which over 50 persons were killed by hooligans.


This, he said, would be done to scuttle the elections or to give the masterminds an advantage over their opponents.

Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday at the ‘National Dialogue for Democratic Stability’ organised by the Alumni Association of the National Institute, Abubakar said things were not right with the country, citing the increased level of crime and criminality across the federation.


The Sultan said, “I cannot say things are right with Nigeria; things are not right with Nigeria. We all know that and that’s why we have these security issues, kidnappings, killings, everywhere, everywhere you find a community.

“One of the saddest things that have happened in the last five days is the killing in Kaduna. If you know how these killings started, you would feel so bad. It is not a religious crisis; it was caused by people who don’t have jobs, they are hungry, they want to lead a good life.


“You would find that all that took place was the looting of shops, that’s all, nothing more. There was no burning of churches and mosques. People were going about killing people, breaking cars.

“As we inch closer to elections, we are going to get worse scenarios because politicians would definitely use it to do whatever they want, to scuttle elections or to make sure they are at an advantaged position”

Citing the Interfaith Initiative for Peace conference held in Abuja last week which was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, the Sultan complained that its outcomes had not been implemented.

He also came hard on the current administration, stating that there was no coordination in the government, noting that the security agencies also were not working for a common purpose.


He lamented that there was little cooperation among the heads of the security outfits.

Abubakar said, “Who coordinates? Is it the office of the SGF (Secretary to Government of the Federation)? Is it the NSA (National Security Adviser) who coordinates national security? Is he really coordinating national security? That’s a big question we need to ask too.”


“There is a disjoint between the security agencies’ leadership and also the followers. The intelligence agencies are also working at different levels, so we continue to have this problem.

His Eminence the Sultan realized very early in this administration what a mistake Buhari was, as the Lifeless is solely responsible for the worsening security situation and division in the country.

Its good he's finally speaking out and even though he's son Tambuwal didn't get the PDP ticket, the Sultan realises the only choice he has is to Atikulate to save our dear country from chaos and total collapse.

Sokoto citizens are mad and angry with Buhari for his continous illegal detention of their Son Dasuki for over 3 years, after more than 4 different courts have ordered the Federal Government to release Dasuki on bail.
Buhari should forget Sokoto State in 2019---Quote me
Buhari has lost Sokoto ---Quote me again
Anti Buhari sentiments in Sokoto state is at an all time high because of the continued incarceration of their Son Sambo Dasuki

How can things be right? Nigeria was founded on a lie. Nigeria is an illusion. Nigeria is a mirage conjured into existential existence by the criminality of the British in forcefully bringing together people who have nothing in common.

Nigeria was created to further British exploitation and criminality. That is not right. This makes EVERYTHING founded
on such illusion un-right.

I see. So that Mr. Welby was in Nigeria, to continue to give the illusion there is a country call “Nigeria” and use the opportunity to see his jihadist friend, “Buhari”. Britain should continue to sustain their colony but one day they too will lose their sovereignty.

Any well meaning Nigerian will be disappointed at the current state of affairs in the nation. The Buhari led government has failed in all sectors. Voting him in 2015 was the greatest mistake Nigerians have done so far. The economy is a wreck, security of lives and property is non existence, agriculture has fallen, our refineries are still obsolete, power is still very poor, the list is almost endless. Nigerian is going nowhere with Buhari in power.

"....The Sultan said, “I cannot say things are right with Nigeria; things are not right with Nigeria.

....Abubakar said things were not right with the country, citing the increased level of crime and criminality across the federation...."
Simply saying the Buhari government is a monumental failure as Nigeria is already a failed state.
