Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:57:18 +0000

Tribalism has long been Nigeria’s invisible fault line, dividing communities, influencing politics, and stunting national unity. But when former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned tribalism in a recent statement, the conversation reignited with fresh urgency: Can Nigeria truly move forward if tribalism continues to dominate our national psyche?

On this edition of News Tonight Discussion Segment, we are joined by Barr. Chidi Ujoatumba, a respected Human Rights Lawyer and CEO of Ujoatumba and Company, to dissect Atiku’s remarks and their wider implications. With his sharp legal insight and human rights perspective, Barr. Ujoatumba takes us beyond political rhetoric into the realities of how tribalism impacts governance, justice, economic opportunities, and the very fabric of Nigerian society.

Is tribalism being weaponized for political gain?
Or is it a symptom of deeper failures in governance and trust?
Most importantly, what practical steps can Nigeria take to build bridges across ethnic divides and focus on shared progress?

This is not just a conversation, it is a national mirror. One that challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths and ask: What kind of Nigeria do we really want?

Stay tuned for an unfiltered, thought-provoking, and eye-opening discussion.
