Maitama Sule Writes Jonathan, Warns Of Dire Consequences

Since this elder statesman is not in politics, he can't be impeached for his own letter. Read below:

A respected federal minister in the First Republic, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule has said he personally wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan and intimated him about the situation in the country and the plight of the north.
"I wrote to the chairman Northern Governors Forum and Mr President and intimated both about the situation in the country, yes I did. I also pointed out that if President Jonathan didn't put a stop to it, we would have disastrous consequences.
"The situation in the country is very sad that we never had it so bad, but I believe what we should do is to get together and tell one another the truth – let us agree to accommodate our differences and to put Nigeria above personal interest."

He said this in his address to the delegation of the Northern Youth Development Foundation, NYDF, a group fighting for the common good of the northerners wherever they are, adding that he was convinced that northern region was suffering from humiliation and discrimination.

Alhaji Maitama Sule urged the leaders not to see themselves as above public criticism and should respond to criticism constructively.

He said he once heard the South African president, Jacob Zuma say, "Good leaders when they deviate and faulted accept ordinary people, academicians and media to blow the horn of warning, such good leaders listen to the warning and respond constructively, they shouldn't see themselves to be above criticism".

He stressed that it is only when Nigerians are united, that they can inspire the black world and play the role that the country is destined to play.

He stressed that dialogue can still solve the problem in the country and is still the best answer to any crisis.
