Alwan Hassan, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denied reports of a developing conflict between the federal government and Northern Nigeria, stating that the region’s true problem is not infrastructure but rather ethnic and religious division.

Hassan denied allegations of a problem during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday. He maintained that opposition figures and some northern organizations, like the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), do not accurately reflect the interests of the north.

“This group of people the ACF, the opposition we have tackled them before under the late President Muhammadu Buhari, and we will still do it this time,” he said.

“They are not for the North, and that’s what I want to make clear.”

Hassan underlined that the region’s true needs are unity across ethnic and religious divides, adding that the primary problems facing Northern Nigeria extend beyond the development of infrastructure.

“Infrastructure is not the problem of the North. We don’t need infrastructure from the federal government. What we need is unity,” he stated.

“An Idoma man cannot become governor of Benue State. A Muslim in Plateau State cannot become Speaker of the State House of Assembly. A Christian minority in Borno State cannot be governor. These are our problems religion and tribe,” Hassan said.

“Let there be one religion and one tribe and that should be the Northern Nigeria,” he said.

He also mentioned the North’s economic potential, highlighting the area’s abundant resources and topography.

“We have 424 local governments, each with economic potential. We own the land in Nigeria fertile, versatile. Let the federal government come to us and partner on that,” he concluded.
