That is why we are in this alliance \u2013 to make sure we don\u2019t allow them to continue to weaponise poverty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding his voice, former Kaduna State counterpart Nasir El-Rufai addressed Amaechi as a \u201cco-conspirator\u201d, recounting how they both worked together to achieve a set political agenda.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">El-Rufai expressed disappointment that Nigerians keep repeating the same mistake of electing the worst among us into positions of authority.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said, \u201cWe are in this coalition to put Nigeria back on the right track.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Archbishop emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, admonished politicians to see their vocation as a service to God.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He explained that politics should not be an avenue for the accumulation of personal wealth but to render service, which ultimately means uplifting the quality of lives of citizens to the glory of God.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, noted that he came face to face with poverty when he ascended the throne as Emir.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ex-Central Bank of Nigeria governor said, \u201cMany of the elite in Nigeria do not know what poverty is. As an economist and former CBN governor, I see the numbers. I did not know poverty until I became Emir.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou go to the village and see the water they drink; the houses they live in\u2014two-block classrooms without roofs.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDo we actually love the people, or do we just love ruling over them? What are our priorities?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe make overpasses and underpasses for ourselves in the cities, while those in the rural areas cannot reach hospitals. We are in crisis; how do we get out? should be our focus.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sanusi charged those saddled with the responsibility of leadership to inculcate the virtues of empathy with those they\u2019ve been given a responsibility to lead.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Usman Yusuf, on his part, explained that most of the cases being handled in hospitals today were not medical but poverty-induced social problems.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yusuf blamed corruption and bad governance for the multidimensional poverty in Nigeria. He said unless citizens live up to their responsibilities and vote for what is right.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, the guest lecturer, Dr. Chidi Amuta, noted that unlike in other climes, in Africa, democracy as a system of governance has remained stunted because post-colonial parliaments were decreed into existence on the backs of poor people.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said, \u201cThe form of political organisation preceded the content of the lives of the people. An unproductive political elite foisted formal democracy on the people who were mostly poor. This is the major reason why democracy has remained stunted in most of Africa.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amuta equally noted that the categorisation of poverty in Nigeria as \u201cmultidimensional\u201d unsettled our politicians.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his welcome address, the celebrant, former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, explained that his refusal to support Bola Tinubu in 2023 was rooted in his knowledge that Tinubu didn\u2019t have the capacity for the job.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amaechi said, \u201cI told Tinubu in Yola, &#8216;I will not support you; I will not work for you.&#8217; I did not work for him; I did not vote for him. It was the issue of capacity.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSome of us who are here are also those who vote on an ethnic or religious basis. Innocent, uneducated people are manipulated to vote based on ethnicity and religion\u2014that\u2019s why we are here.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen we leave here, we go to plot to go and grab power; no Nigerian leader cares for you.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou rooted for the Muslim\/Muslim ticket, let the Muslim market come out now. For us in opposition, if you want us to remove this man, we can remove this him from power.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe want to submit to the opposition if the opposition will take us out of this problem.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThey are weaponising poverty by stealing the money they should have used to build hospitals and schools.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe benefit of the fuel subsidy removal is in their pockets, &#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said he was ashamed because things have gone so bad that carrying the green Nigerian passport internationally has become a burden.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dignitaries at the event include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus; Ex-Chief of Army Staff General Tukur Buratai; former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; and ex-governors of Benue, Niger, Cross River, and Bayelsa States: Gabriel Suswam, Babangida Aliyu, Liyel Imoke, and Senator Seriake Dickson respectively, among others<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Myke Agunwa The mega coalition team led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reiterated its resolve to unseat President Bola Tinubu and end the regime of the All&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
