A traditional ruler and delegate at the ongoing National Conference, the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Aliyu Mustapha has explained that his reason for advocating that the oil producing states should control their oil wealth was because the oil states see the north as a beggar region.
Speaking in an interview with the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Service (BBC), monitored in Kaduna yesterday, the traditional ruler maintained that the oil producing states were threatening other parts of the country as if they cannot survive without oil money.
“These people who come from oil producing states are looking at us as if we are beggars, gold diggers who have nothing to do. That is why I said the non oil producing states are not cowards, they don’t fear anybody. Everybody is contributing his quota to make Nigeria great, but these people from oil producing states think that if what they want is not given to them, they would even prefer to stay out of Nigeria.
