Southern Senators Begin Confab by nwakibie3(m): 4:55pm On Nov 24, 2017 |
Leke Baiyewu, Abuja Members of the Senate from the southern part of Nigeria on Friday began a conference on the governance and political structure of the country. The two-day retreat by the Southern Senators Forum, which is holding in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, was tagged, ‘National Unity and Restructuring.’ In his keynote address at the opening session of the event, Depute President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, called for patience, more enlightenment and dialogue to actualise the restructuring of Nigeria. He blamed opposition to restructuring to misconception and ethno-sectional suspicions. Ekweremadu likened Nigeria to a vast building expected to accommodate a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious and politically diverse people, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu. He said, “To ensure equity, justice and prosperity of the various families and sections; and to allay fears of possible domination, our founding fathers settled for a federal constitution or structure after various conferences on the type of building, the architectural design, number of rooms and rules of cohabitation. “Sadly, the rain started beating us from that fateful January coup, especially following the violation of the covenant of our fathers by the promulgation of Unitary Decree 1966. Although the July 1966 counter-coup was, among other things, predicated on the need to correct the General Aguyi Ironsi’s misadventure, subsequent regimes after him have steadily and deliberately corrupted the architectural design and undone all the foundations laid by the founding fathers.” http://punchng.com/southern-senators-begin-confab/ 1 Like |

My own is that any political reform in this country must ensure that every state, no matter how big or small has 1 vote in presidential elections. We have 36 states + FCT. Every election should have 37 votes. The party that has 19 votes will be the winner. Any party that wins a state will have the vote of that state. This arrangement will prevent the political domination of some parts of the country. It will prevent a repeat of Rivers and Kano magic of the last elections. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I am seeing this from another side. This move may divide the country more further. It would end up a northern block vs the southern block. I tell you what, no division is stronger than this. I prefer people align base on ideology and not ethnicity otherwise you end up forcing people to believe in an idea just because they are from the other side of the block and not because they believe truly in the idea.

The North no go happy with this oh! They plan to keep on enjoying our resources! Please Igbos and Yorubas, it has come to my knowledge that many accounts on NL have been set up to cause disunity between us. We need to stop this our online fights! The Paramount Ruler in the East, Obi of Onitsha; played host to the Paramount Ruler from the West, Ooni of Ife. It was a good cause. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6107250_2245923814823245751559398455668054954790658o_jpeg00541a11f92e193b5e634381fbe158f0 https://www.nairaland.com/4117236/ooni-ife-arrives-onitsha-obi We need to identify the real enemy. So Yorubas how many times have you heard Igbo people went about to kill Yorubas? Also So Igbos how many times have you heard Yoruba people went about to kill Igbos? Now please Yorubas, Niger Delta & Igbos; how many times have Northers killed any of you. Thats how yoiu know who is your real enemy. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] 23 Likes 1 Share |

Ekwerenmadu and Abaribe should be allowed in that retreat until they produce the corpse of the late Terorist leader Cownu. Infact all legialatures from the south yeast should never be part of the retreat until they come out openly to say Igbos are terorist and order the military to deal with them like pigs. My hatred for Igbos and there late leader cownu will keep growing on daily basis because they are enemies of the state. Ndi Ara |
