Al-Mustapha informed  the CAN President that he was in Warri to seek his understanding and support for peace and unity in the country in the face of the siege to some northern parts of the country  and killing of innocent persons by  Boko Haram.

He said one of the shocking findings by his group was  that some individuals were investing in crisis in the country and were  at the moment sponsoring propaganda against him and his team  for seeking  the return of peace and unity in the country.

Oritsejafor, who said he was impressed by Al-Mustapha’s peace efforts, said about eight years ago, he personally drove to Asaba to deliver materials to Northerners that fled Onitsha and other parts of the East, when angry Easterners, on sighting the corpses of their kinsmen that were slaughtered by insurgents in the North, rose against them.

“There must be a way of reaching out to these displaced persons. Look at what is happening in Borno State. It is happening to both Christians and Muslims, but when you listen to the leader of these insurgents, Abubakar Shekau, he said in the last message that they are after Christians and anywhere they find them, they will kill them.”

Al- Mustapha , who is the President,  Unity and Development Initiative (APUDI), an NGO, made the plea when he led members of the management team of the organisation on a courtesy call to the Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda ,in Bauchi.

He said that the organisation was creating new opportunities that would promote the well being of the younger ones.

“We will channel their request through some international donor agencies whose commitments and mission are to promote education, employment and the well being of the younger generation.

“We want to extend this gesture to the youth of this state by calling on their attention to look into some of these opportunities we are trying to create.

“It is necessary for the Initiative to come, introduce itself, its programmes and seek the cooperation and the understanding of the leadership of this state.

“We hope that the state government will partner with us in the various programmes outlined and designed to help the younger ones in terms of creating job opportunities and help them to be self reliant.“

Al-Mustapha also said he was in the state to show appreciation to the elders in the state for their prayers during his 15 years travail.

“I have nothing else other than to look into whatever that will be beneficial for the common good of the people and for the common good of our country,” he said.

Responding, Yuguda expressed the readiness of his state to partner with the organisation on anything that would foster national unity and create jobs opportunity for the teeming youths of the state.

Yuguda, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Musa Gumli , appealed to Al-Mustapha to take all that had happened to him as an act of God and forgive all those that erred.

He blamed Al-Mustapha’s misfortune on political manipulation of the judicial system to the detriment of the cause of justice and fairness.
