Who Is Pushing The Abuja Statehood Campaign ? by AntiMarxist: 8:21am On Sep 13, 2023
There are murmurs by some individuals claiming to be Indigenes demanding that the FCT be given full statehood status complete with an elected governor and three senators.


First, there are no longer Abuja Indigenes. The creation of FCT saw to the displacement and relocation of the Indigenes.

In Niger state , there is a settlement known as New Wuse which was where the federal govt relocated Indigenes of Wuse in Abuja. The process of relocating Indigenes is still ongoing and the original master plan is to strip the territory of its original inhabitants towards making Abuja a truly Nigerian state. Agitations by Indigenes of Abuja no longer hold. As sad as it is, that's the harsh reality and only the Indigenes have themselves to blame for not opposing the FG stealing their land.

Secondly, Abuja as a state will not enjoy the heavy subsidy it enjoys as a federal capital Territory. Those huge investment in infrastructure will dry up as the FG will no longer be allowed to spend more than it is constitutionally alloted to the FCT. And with no mineral resources, the new state of Abuja will quickly become a shadow of itself getting no more in federal allocations than Nassarawa if not less. Abuja state will rely heavily on IGR mainly from taxes which will not be sufficient to meet the ongoing expansion or even in maintaining the existing infrastructure. As a state , Abuja will quickly decay within 5yrs.

Finally , as a state ,will same Indigenes have the political power and numbers to elect one of theirs as a governor ? The Indigenes are already a minority and the most impoverished at that. A governor will not emerge from one of them rather it will be from settlers aka Abuja residents. It is now we will begin to unravel who are behind this Abuja statehood campaign and they are those who have given themselves the non constitutional title of Abuja resident. Our Constitution does not recognise resident ,rather emphasis is on indigeneship. The same people who are advocating for state of residence to replace state of origin in places like Lagos and who went to court challenging the last presidential election in a private suit under the plaintiff name of Abuja residents are the same ones who are pushing for Abuja to be a state in the same hope they think they can eventually come to control it.

These people want Abuja after it has been built by Niger Delta oil from scratch and are the same ones attacking the appointment of a SS individual as minister of FCT.

But paraventure, the FCT is made a state, these same people think Arewa will sit down and watch them vote themselves into power as governors and senators of the FCT. Far from it. The North will reclaim FCT as theirs and by north , I don't mean the displaced Indigenes but core Fulani -Hausa northerners .

These people always look for a way to mess things up for everyone except the core north whom their foolishness has always benefited.

In summary:

1.Abuja state will end up being ruled and dominated by a core northerner from the NW -Hausa/Fulani

2. The hostility towards non northern Muslims that we see in the northwest will become part of Abuja

3. Non northern Muslims will not be protected and your business and property can be shut down and demolished by executive order of the governor.

4. Get ready for Sharia law in Abuja

5. You will find your square roots and relocate faster back to your village if Abuja becomes a state.

6. Abuja will not be what it is today with free money from the FG making whatever investment you have their dry up.

7. Nigerians will blame you for handing over the capital free of charge to the core north.

8. Your role in pushing for Abuja statehood will be seen by others and appropriate measures will be taken to curtail your excesses.

Re: Who Is Pushing The Abuja Statehood Campaign ? by AntiMarxist: 8:44am On Sep 13, 2023
Abuja is truly a no man's land but you won't see the people that like to tag anywhere they settle in large numbers a no man's land tagging Abuja as one.

No where in the north can they dare use that discription after sense was drilled into their heads in places like Kano but they seem to forget that Abuja is part of the north.

Abuja is named after an Arab slave raider Abu Bakr who raided Abuja for slaves to be sold on into the trans Saharan slave trade. Abuja's twin city is Suleja that was established by Abu Baker's brother Suleiman for the same purpose of slave raiding .

Abuja fell under the so-called Pagan province during the first Republic .

If you idiots think that you have any right to a single square inch of land in Abuja you are seriously dreaming.

Abuja resident ? You dey dream. A land that has been stripped of its indigenous people will some how recognise you kafuris from the yeast ?

don't insults others for lack of knowledge. There are villages dominated by indigenous people of Abuja. If you don't know, ask land surveyors, they will tell you more. If Yoruba can chase other tribes from Lagos after several years of moving fct to Abuja, the indigenous people of Abuja can't be chased out.

hypocrite! You were amongst those who screamed " Lagos belong to Yoruba". But because Tinubu lost in Abuja and PEPT has ruled to his favor, Abuja is now "no man land"
I am happy PEPT has recognized Abuja as a state. So Abuja must have a governor,a minister and a state house of Assemble.

But perphas all what you have said will quicken the disintegration of this country fastest.

If all these is happening then no more neutral capital which means SS SE would be wanting out

So it doesn't favor north as you think, I don't think we in Niger Delta even care if we lose all the govt took from us to make Abuja.

They want to deny Gbagyi people of their inheritance which we all know yet cling unto Lagos and even deny other ethnic groups their constitutional rights of voting. How despicable can these people be?

No constitution said you must score 25% in Abuja except if na Aba made constitution.

Now imagine Kano is now the FCT and your loser candidate Obi contested and hit 1% in Kano.

If he got 25% in other states of Nigeria, should INEC now deny him his mandate because he did not score 25% in said FCT which is in the heart of Kano.

Most Obidients are delusional. Hausa people will just transfer their voters card to Abuja in the next election and that your Obi self no go see the 25% if that is the game.
