No position reserved for any particular individual or groups, Governor Sule warns
…as Angola plans to establish biggest fertilizer plant in Nasarawa
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has warned that political position is the right of every citizen of Nigeria and Nasarawa State, stressing that there is no position that is reserved for any particular individual or groups of individuals.
Governor Sule handed down the warning while presiding over a critical stakeholders meeting ahead of the one-day working visit by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, at the Government House on Monday.
“Political position is the right of every citizen of Nigeria. And indeed, every citizen of Nasarawa State. There is no position that is reserved for any particular individual or groups of individuals. God alone give power and He will give power to whoever he chooses,” he stated.
The Governor further stressed the need for the visit of the President to be orderly and peaceful.
He therefore used the opportunity of the meeting to appeal to politicians aspiring for political offices to call on their supporters to shun acts capable of creating tension during the presidential visit.
“I want to plead with all our aspirants to please call on our supporters that we should restrict them from needless arguments and rivalry during this period. For the places that I have visited, we didn’t have anything like that and please, I don’t want us to have that in Nasarawa,” he said.
This is just aa Angola made known its plans to establish the biggest fertilizer plant in Africa with Nasarawa State selected as location for that of Nigeria.
Governor Sule said Nasarawa State is in pole position to attract investments mostly because of the prevailing peace across the state.
“In Nasarawa State we continue to experience peace and I must continue to thank you, thank my own team for all the work that we continue to do, thank our royal fathers for the support they continue to give, our religious leaders, community leaders, our members of the assembly, starting with the speaker, our judiciary for the support that we continue to receive and nearly everyone of you that we have called on you one way or the other and you are there to give us that support.
“I think that is giving us the good name that we have and that is what is giving us the approach that we have. Just this morning, I received another call from the Ambassador of Angola, through our liaison where he said they want to establish one of the biggest fertlizer plant in Africa. They are commissioning one in Tanzania on Saturday. The next one they have is targeted for Nigeria. When they went through their various exercises, they looked at the various options on where to establish it in Nigeria and they decided that Nasarawa will be the ideal place for them,” he said.
He added that, already, the Angolan Ambassador has invited three persons from the state to witness the commissioning of the completed fertlizer plant in Tanzania on Saturday.
“He is inviting three people from Nasarawa State to go and witness what is happening in Tanzania which is exactly what is going to happen in Nasarawa State. It is because of what we are doing collectively. I tell everybody at the time, it’s not about A. A. Sule because A. A. Sule has some months to go,” he added.
