Walk the talk on fair treatment of minorities, Atiku tells Buhari

FORMER vice-president and All Progressives Congress, (APC) chieftain, Atiku Abubakar has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to show example in his admonition to world leaders that minorities deserve better treatment.

The former vice-president specifically lauded President Buhari for calling the United Nation’s attention to the sufferings of Myanmar’s Rohingya people, cited by the world body as perhaps the world’s most persecuted minorities.

While commending President Buhari for raising concern before the assembly of world global body, the United Nation’s General Assembly over persecution of minorities, Atiku however said he was convinced that Nigeria will also provide the world a good example in the way we treat our minority groups.

“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 also aligned with the President’s message of gratitude to the international community for their efforts in the Lake Chad region which has helped bring succor to Nigerians affected by the scourge of terrorism.
