Hausa People Pillars Of Nigeria’s Progress – Peter Obi by SlavaUkraini(op): 6:49am On Aug 27

The 2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described the Hausa people as the pillars of Nigeria’s progress.

In a post on his verified X handle, Obi celebrated the Hausa community and its contributions to Nigeria.

Obi made the post in commemoration of the International Hausa Day.

He said the Hausa people have made significant and lasting contributions to the growth and development of Nigeria through their culture, traditions, enterprise, agriculture, scholarship, public service and dedication to community.

The former Anambra State governor stated that Nigeria’s diversity remains one of its greatest strengths and that its shared future depends on recognising and respecting the contributions of every community.

“I warmly congratulate the Hausa community across Nigeria as they observe their Day in Daura, Katsina State. The Hausa people are the pillars of Nigeria’s progress.

“This celebration is not only a moment to honour a proud heritage but also an opportunity to reaffirm the bonds that unite us as Nigerians.

“As you celebrate in Katsina, I wish you peace, prosperity and a renewed sense of hope. May this occasion bolster our unity and inspire us to build a Nigeria where every citizen, regardless of ethnicity or background, has equal opportunities to flourish,” he tweeted.

The pillars of our great country are the various South South communities criminally decimated by oil spills and neglected.

Igbos, you see your golden son twerking for Hausa now. After, you people would say we are stopping you from going.

You cannot be dancing for hausa today and start demanding for Biafra tomorrow when hausa refuse to vote for you.

Very correct. People who control Thier mineral resources in the north, still control crude oil in the south, still control politics and still controls terrorism in the country. Why won't they be pillars of the country?

Tinubu already congratulated the Hausas with the same statement.

That's plagiarism for Obi.
He should act like Prof. Arday

They have this strong believe in one Nigeria. I agree on that. They're the only region or tribe who has not agitated for secession. Even tinubu once said he didn't believe in one Nigeria. How people forget things so easily. The north fell for his muslim-muslim ticket. They're wiser now. If not the insecurity that has bedevelled them, they're more accommodating, followed by us in the south west.

But when it comes to contributions to the growth and d development of Nigeria, their efforts arent good enough. The south deserves an accolade on this. This isn't about sentiments but a reality. We just need to keep managing ourselves as a nation till we get things right. Our greedy leaders are the cause of all these divisions amongst us for their selfish gains. They'd soon start again as the election is approaching, be wise!

I hope Obi wont be misquoted by keyboard warriors this morning grin

Every qualified nigerian irrespective of ethnicity has every right to aspire to be nigeria's president and also entitled to freedom of speech so stop the bigotry.
