No Ethnic Group Is Superior To Another – Femi Gbajabiamila

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has come out to say that no ethnic group in the country should claim superiority or lord over others.

He recently revealed this while speaking with State House correspondents after meeting behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to him, the ethnic groups at loggerheads just have to come to the table to discuss a resolution of the current problems, because the constant war will help nobody.

He added that he has been discussing with Buhari on the state of the nation, and the president is as concerned as everyone else.

His words, “Everybody just has to come to the table and discuss and come to an amicable resolution which I’m sure we will.”

“I don’t think any ethnic group should lord it over any ethnic group, the southwest should not lord it over the north, the north should not lord it over the south. We should respect each other’s trade, geographical space, history, culture and more importantly the issue of crime, murder all those things should be completely jettisoned.”

“But more importantly, we all have to sit at the table and discuss this matter and look for the way forward. I think everybody is willing to do that.”

“From the National Assembly, solutions will come from talking. I believe that now that we are about to start work on Tuesday, I know these issues will come up and adequate and proper legislation that will address the issue frontally and in the best interest of the country, and all nations that make up the nation such legislation will be put in place.”
