Don’t Antagonize Northerners Against Jonathan - Abubakar Dangiwa Umar To Murtala Nyako

On Tuesday, April 22, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd), stated that Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, is trying to turn the northern people against President Goodluck Jonathan because he allegedly encourages genocide in Nigeria.

Former military Governor of Kaduna underlined that Nyako's statement can be interpreted as an indirect way of inciting northerners against the government. "These are comments that should not come from leaders who want the nation to progress and move forward," he stated.

Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd) also said that Governor Nyako should be aware of the weighty nature of his statement where he accused President Jonathan and his administration in being responsible for spreading genocide in the north.

Umar expressed the hope that people like him (Nyako) wouldn't put the nation on fire.

Umar also urged Governor Nyako and other North-East governors to channel all grievances over the current insecurity in their domain through the appropriate channels rather than embarking on anything that would worsen the security problem the country is facing today.
