A passionate call for justice and inclusion has sparked conversations in Plateau State, as Hausa activist Shuaibu Aliyu demands recognition and fairness for Hausa residents who have lived in the state for generations.
Aliyu, known for his advocacy on equality and unity, insists that Hausa people in Plateau are not outsiders, but true contributors to the state’s growth and identity. He urged both state authorities and the public to end long-standing discrimination based on ethnicity and indigene status.
“We are not after political positions or power. We only seek fairness and equal treatment. Our people have lived here for decades, contributed to the economy, and deserve to be recognized as indigenes,” – Shuaibu Aliyu stated in his public declaration.
His comments reignited the ongoing indigene vs. settler debate, a sensitive issue that has shaped inter-ethnic relations across Nigeria for decades. Many citizens have applauded his courage, describing his words as a timely reminder of the need for unity, while others argue that the question of “indigene” identity must be resolved through historical and legal channels.
The Plateau State Government has not yet issued an official response to Aliyu’s appeal, but civic groups and community leaders are urging dialogue, inclusion, and reconciliation to promote lasting peace.
As Nigeria continues to grapple with issues of identity, belonging, and equality, voices like Shuaibu Aliyu’s highlight the need to build a country where all citizens are treated with fairness — regardless of their ethnic background.
