Nigerians both home and abroad are speaking with one voice, calling on President Buhari to abolish the RUGA settlement project because it is not in the best interest of the people of Nigeria. It would be nice for those elders in the northern part of Nigeria who are using RUGA to threaten other ethnic groups in Nigeria by saying that if they do not support RUGA program, they should forget 2023 presidential bid to tread carefully. We (Viewers Corner News team) want to enlighten some of those elders in the northern part of Nigeria who have such ideas in mind that democracy is government of the people and not for elders of one ethnic group in the country (Nigeria). It is the majority of people in Nigeria that decide who becomes their president, this is the power of democracy. Even President Buhari becoming the leader of Nigeria today is not only the people of the north that made it possible, NO it is a collective effort of majority of Nigerians which we (Viewers Corner News team) expect the northern elders to understand. Also that President Buhari is from the north does not give those elders the opportunity to dictate which ethnic group becomes the next president in 2023, it is the people of Nigeria who would decide who they need as their president come 2023. Suggestions could be made but the final say rest on the people and that is what democracy is all about. Again, we (Viewers Corner News team) are calling on those who want to forcefully establish RUGA settlement in Nigeria to please listen to the people of Nigeria both home and abroad who are saying NO to such project and have it abolished in the interest of peace. Instead of RUGA settlement, there are lots of homeless people in the northern part of Nigeria including others who are one hundred percent Nigerians, use the money budgeted for RUGA to build shelters for them. They are displaced people who need help the most.
