‘Politics of inclusion not promoting democracy’

- From Aliyu M. Hamagam, Dutse

A chieftain of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) in Jigawa State, Barrister Kaloma Dahiru Mustapha, has said that it is time to deemphasis­e politics of inclusion and fair representa­tion because it failed to foster the supposed unity and promotion of common wealth among Nigerians.

The APC stalwart said it was time for the country’s democracy to start moving away from such principles that were adopted to address the diversity of Nigerians, based on geography and ethnicity.

Mustapha said that the same mundane principle of politics recently gave room for the uproar witnessed when President Muhammadu Buhari announced the members of his ‘kitchen cabinet’.
