AMID IPOB CRISIS…
* ‘It is better to restructure correct imbalance’
“Being more pragmatic, separating the nation
into small pieces resolves nothing and creates
additional problems”.
With these words, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu,
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Saturday, warned against any attempt to
spilt Nigeria.
Tinubu noted that gargantuan challenges were
facing the country but explained that they were
not enough to call for the dismantling of the
federation at a time some parts of the world
were taking advantage of integration.
Whereas he did not make direct reference to the
secessionist agitation by the now proscribed Igbo
group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), he
said many of those who cry separation do so
because their personal ambitions will be better
served as they believe they will have greater
chance at political power under a different
arrangement.
The APC leader, however, said the cry for
separation had gained traction among average
people due to the chronic failure of government
to meet basic aspirations.
Tinubu spoke as Principal Guest of Honour/
Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Annual Dinner of
the King’s College Old Boys’ Association
(KCOBA) at King’s College, Lagos.
His speech entitled, A NEW NIGERIA OR A
BETTER ONE:THE FITTING TOOLS OF A GREAT
REPAIR
“In one way or another, we all have felt the sting
of man’s capacity to wrong his fellow man. But
we are also endowed with the God-given spirit to
overcome adversity and to make of old enemies,
new allies and even brothers. I stand before you
as a faithful believer in sentiments such as
these”, the former governor of Lagos started his
address to the King’s College Old Boys.
He continued: “Collectively and individually you
have contributed mightily to this nation. If there
were more people imbued with the values of
King’s College, Nigeria would be a better place.
We must clearly articulate our objectives. That
which we cannot think clearly, will not be
attained despite the magnitude of our exertions
and expenditure to achieve it. One cannot be
assured that an architect’s fine design will result
in a fine building. Much can go awry during the
process of transforming idea into brick and
mortar.
“However, we can be certain that a masterful
building is never the result of flawed design.
In this vein, I dabble not so much in the search
for a new Nigeria. I am equally not enthused
about the flaws of old Nigeria. What I seek is a
better Nigeria.
“I care not whether something is old or new but
whether it shall make us better. Not all change is
good. Not every new thing shall be kind to us”.
Saying Nigeria must change but some of the
changes we need cannot be bought at the store
of the new, Tinubu said, “Many things we need
are shelved in the warehouse of the old. Just as
we must learn new things on

Breaking: We must guard against separating Nigeria into small pieces, Tinubu warns http://www.naijagossip.com.ng/2017/09/23/breaking-must-guard-separating-nigeria-small-pieces-tinubu-warns/

I can't believe Tinubu will say all this. That not all change is good. Chai Fulanis don kick him out of the way

Not all change is
good. Not every new thing shall be kind to us”.

Good night, my people.

At least there's a positive side to all the ipob madness.

It opened everyone's eyes to the faulty arrangement of the system.

In order to make progress, some changes must occur.

E be like say these Fulani mofos don çhàñge am for this maga and now he is singing a new song. Not all change is good indeed, you gotta love these politicians.

Well in no direct words, he's indifferent about restructuring but is against cessation.

but APC is advocating the same for Israel/Palestine , Morroco/south sahara so whos is hypnotising who.

how can someone tell me that a Republic of Biafra of 40 Million inhabitants is a amll country or that Arewa Republic of about 50 Million is small country , the person needs to have a brains surgery.

FEAR EWEDU MUSLIMS

The clown eye just dey open when day don break finish. Stylishly supporting RESTRUCTURING he is not even bold to declare it openly like Obj, Atiku etal. Good morning Tinubu!
