Nigeria was handed over to Nigerians, not to Fulani

In the recent past, a short video clip has gone viral titled: ‘Who handed over Nigeria to the Fulani?’ I watched the video and listened to its audio. Interestingly, the voice is sounding like that of an “Englishman”. I was taken aback because I could not understand the motive of the anonymous producer and presenter of the video clip and on whose behalf. From the content of the video, it is obvious that the producer is defending the British against the allegation. In the words of the producer, “Someone said Fulani is Yoruba’s number one enemy and that the British handed over Nigeria to them’. This is not the truth; The British did not handover Nigeria to the Fulani”.
Western Regional Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Charles Onua Wontor Bissue says his party stands the chance to stay in government for a long time due to the outcome of 2020 general election results.
Describing the just-ended 2020 general elections as a shocking revelation, the Presidential Staffer said his party losing many Parliamentary seats to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a wakeup call for all and sundry.
Using the Western Region Parliamentary election results as a case study, he mentioned that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) which used to have 13 seats out of the 17 seats in the 2016 elections is now down with 9 seats and the opposition NDC moving from 4 to 8 seats.
