"NO NIGERIAN SHOULD BE A SETTLER ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA:A CHEAP TALK FROM THE SULTAN OF SOKOTO":The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has called for an end to the current settler syndrome in the body politic. He said no Nigerian should be treated as a settler in any part of the country. The eminent traditional ruler made the appeal in Osogbo, Osun State on Friday when Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, hosted him to a dinner.
Was the non settler clause part of the unseen, unknown and the invisible amalgamation document of 1914 that was carried out by Lord Lugard that gave birth to Nigeria in the first instance that no single Nigerian either died or alive ever saw or possessed? Did those 450 ethnic nationalities, the major religious faiths and cultural groups agree in 1914 during the amalgamation of both the Northern and the Southern protectorates together that the non settler status will be their new constitutional term of engagement? Does Nigerian constitution recognize the non-settler clause in all reality when all federal government policies in Nigeria from 1960 to date are based on federal character, quota system, state of origin, geopolitical zone, cultural and religious identities?
