The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has stated that there is hunger in Nigeria because Nigerians are lazy.
He was reacting to comments made by chairman of the Shura committee of the National Islamic Centre, Ahmad Bello . Bello had said there's extreme hunger in the land at the 22nd annual Ummah Convention held in Sokoto.
“The chairman, Shura committee talk about hunger in the land but let me make it clear that we are hungry because we are lazy,” the sultan stated.
He noted that Nigeria was endowed with fertile land and if properly harnessed could lead them to greatness. However, the people are lazy, he said.
He recalled that agriculture had been the pride of the north in the past which need to be restored.
The monarch urged Nigerians, particularly northerners to take advantage of the agricultural programmes initiated by their state and federal governments for development of the region and the country in general.
