‘One Nigeria’ is not a mantra. It is an outlook of tolerance, a willingness to accommodate, a commitment to building a diverse society where the rights of one are fairly balanced against the rights of the other, so that everyone has a healthy stake in the Union… For, ultimately, it is a just Nigeria that is One Nigeria – nothing else.
I know, sir, that as a Fulani man your heart will always tilt towards the Fulani. Indeed, as Nigerians, we all wrestle with this instinct – to speak in the interests of our own ethnic groups, even when so doing would, clearly, not be the right thing. But I appeal to you to consider the fact, easily verifiable, that open grazing by nomadic Fulani herdsmen is the cause of conflicts resulting in more deaths, year on year, in Nigeria today than any other. Please think about it.
It cannot be that all affected farmers, from Zamfara to Bayelsa – different tribes, different tongues – all have this problem of not ‘understanding the culture of the Fulani’. It can only be that this aspect of the culture of the nomadic Fulani – like the killing of twins, or the abandonment of babies in evil forests, like mutilation of the genitals of little girls or the disinheritance of women – is one that needs to evolve with the times.
Our founders, and our current Constitution, recognise that One Nigeria is a construct that has to be proactively invested in and built, if it is to be realised. And that one of the most important tools for doing this is running an inclusive government. That is a government that listens. That is a government that engages with different points of view.
