Katsina State governor, Bello Masari, has given reasons why Nigerians must unite, while admonishing citizens to see the country as one bonded by God.
He explained that people do not chose where they are born or environment they grow up, hence they must not discriminate. He cited the United States of America as an example, noting that they are strong for embracing its unity.
He said this on Friday when a group in the All Progressive Congress paid him a courtesy visit at the state government house.
In his words: “It’s not my choice, it is not your choice where I was born or where you were born or where you were brought up and it is not mine.
“I am not an Hausa man in Katsina by my choice. It is in the wisdom of our creator. He (God) has meaning for this.
“It means if you bring your experience and I bring mine, we put it in a basket, we will produce better results.
“That’s why Americans are so diverse today yet they are the strongest because they brought whatever is best for the country in one basket and they are areas that are not negotiable,” Masari said.
Masari also called for national sensitization and renewal of mindset of the Nigerian population to come to understand and appreciate that what affects one affects all.
