A former military governor of Kaduna State,Col.Abubakar Umar(Retd) has lambasted governor of Adamawa State Murtala Nyako over his senseless memo sent to the northern state governors in which he alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan and the federal government were carrying out genocide against the northern part of Nigeria.The former military officer expressed his disappointment over such comments credited to a serving governor and also a retired top brass military officer.
Umar said, “The statement of Governor Murtala Nyako; coming from a retired military officer, is shocking and worrisome, and I hope people like him should not put the nation on fire and should desist from making wild allegation.
“What is his aim? Does he wants northerners to pick up arms against the Federal Government or what? These are comments that should not come from leaders who want the nation to progress and move forward; moreso, like a state governor and a retired military officer.
“How can he prove the allegation he made against President Goodluck Jonathan that he is encouraging genocide in the country? Doesn’t he realise the implication of this kind of statement? And that the statement can set Nigeria on fire; does it augur well for national stability and unity of the country?”
