Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to show the world a good example of his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), through the way he treats minority groups in the country.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his media office, Atiku congratulated Buhari on a successful outing at the 72nd Session of the UNGA in New York last Tuesday.
According to the statement, while commending Buhari for drawing UN’s attention to the sufferings of Myanmar’s Rohingya people, presumed to be the world’s most persecuted minorities, Atiku maintained that “minority groups all over the world deserve the cooperation of majority groups”.
The ex-vice president however aligned himself with Buhari’s message of gratitude to the international community for their efforts in the Lake Chad region which, he noted, has helped bring succor to Nigerians affected by the scourge of terrorism.
“It is my sincere desire that arising from President Buhari’s speech, the UN will increase its support to Nigeria and her neighbors in the Lake Chad Region as we redouble our efforts to rid the region of the scourge of terrorism and restore peace and prosperity to a once thriving zone,” Atiku said.
