I don’t agree with the former president that Nigeria is more widely divided along ethnic and religious lines after the 2023 elections. Look at Kano, Osun, Lagos and Abuja and see that Nigerians are beginning to unite and cohere along party and ideological lines. Look at Benue State, a predominantly Christian State which went for a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Neither religion nor ethnicity motivated their rebellion. The 2023 election was a time-bomb. Rigging and militarisation of the process affected victory in many polling units. The hasty announcement of a winner lit the fuse, and an explosion is inevitable, if and when the Supreme Court gives its verdict on the INEC results cases in the courts without fidelity to law and facts. The presidential and governorship elections were fought like wars. The national elites are pathetic. They are driving the nation apart because they have no loyalty to Nigeria, but to their bloated egos, and maniacal obsession for money.
Others have complained about ethnic profiling and incendiary statements by some ethnic groups against one another. Are you not afraid that we are on the road to Rwanda?
