Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the North, Alwan Hassan, has said that the region does not need infrastructural development.<\/p>\n

Hassan said what the region needs is unity across religion and ethnic lines.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today, he said the region had everything it needed to survive on its own but could not strive as a result of religious and ethnic differences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take you through, and I will give you reasons why infrastructure is not the problem of the north.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need infrastructure from the federal government in the north,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need in northern Nigeria is unity, and they know it. Unite us. An Idoma man cannot be governor of Benue state, a Muslim in Plateau State cannot be Speaker in the State Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Christian minority in Borno state cannot be a governor. You are from Kwara and a Christian, can you be a governor of Kwara state?<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are our problems, religion and tribe. Let there be one religion, one tribe, and that should be northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 424 local governments, every of which have economic potentials to tap into it. We have vast lands. We own the land in Nigeria, fertile. Travel from here to Borno and see it. Levelled down.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut people cannot go to the farm because Christians are killing Muslims, and Muslims are killing Christians. I don\u2019t want this Christian to be this, I don\u2019t want this Muslim to be that,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
