Is To Bring Peace To Nigeria"
You cannot divorce politics from whatever man is
doing. Even between man and woman, politics is
involved. The meeting with Al-Mustapha is to bring
peace. Faseun, Uwazuruike, Yerima Shettima,
Abacha, Tony Major and over 50 different
organisations were there. Government wants to be
oblivious of what is going on. It is a tsunami. It is the
first time that people from the Caliphate, Borno and
people from other part of this country are meeting.
People have come to say 'look, whatever has
happened before we should put it aside, have a focus
and put an eye on the future.' All of us have suffered
from one form of deprivation or the other. All of us
have been in prison – myself, Pa Faseun, Uwazuruike,
Al-Mustapha, Mohammed. We have been imprisoned
at one time or the other. We have all suffered one
form of deprivation or the other. Our collective
suffering should be a sacrifice to bring hope to our
people.
We met and we saw the sincerity in them. Some
people say I hate the north, but I laugh. They say I
hate the Fulanis, Kanuris and I find that funny. I have
two boys and their mother is a Fulani, living among
Kanuri people from Borno state. One of them is
named after me – Mujahid Dokubo and the other one
is Nurul-Islam. They have been living with their
mother. My son even speaks Hausa and Fulfude. He
doesn't even know how to speak my language. I am
married to a Shuwa Arab also from Borno Empire. My
in-laws come to my house, eat, sleep, live in my
house and we do things together. When it comes to
protecting the interest of my people, it is beyond me
because of my personal life. So if people want to kill
my people, I should fold my hands because I'm
married to a Fulani woman? When everyone dies it
will remain only my two sons and myself. God
created me an Ijaw man for a purpose.
