The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Sunday rejected the
call for the restructuring of the country to ensure true
federalism saying that what the country needed was
competent leadership at all the levels of government and
not doing anything that would weaken the centre.
The National Publicity Secretary of ACF, Mohammed
Ibrahim, made this known in a telephone interview with
Vanguard.
Ibrahim said “that Nigerians fought for the unity of the
country” pointing out that it was “not possible for the north
to support anything that would cause disunity” in Nigeria.
He however stressed that since the country was practicing
democracy, everything about restructuring or amending the
constitution should be channelled through the National
Assembly which had the constitutional duties to bring about
such changes.
On a personal note, Ibrahim said that it would be practically
impossible to restructure the country along the line of
regionalism when it had not been possible for civilians to
create even one local government council since the exit of
the military from governance over 18 years ago.
“It is not possible. Nobody can even amend the 1999
Constitution as it is today. This is my personal opinion but
we have not been able to create a single local government
since the advent of the present democratic dispensation.
For anybody to create a new local government council in
the country, all the 36 states must agree and this cannot be
possible,” he added, pointing out that everything about
restructuring along regionalism would be an exercise in
futility. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/acf-wont-support-structuring/ |

if is not that a lot of politicians in the south are stupid,we should let the north understand that is either we restructure the country and practice a federal system of government or we all go our differemt ways we have been runing a unitary system of government since 1966,what have we achieved? thats why i will never forgive gej,i voted for him in 2011 thinking he will restructure the country,if i can become the president in 2019 i will make sure i make th central very weak,the central government will be in charge of monetary policy,foreign affair,defense and the territorial integrity of Nigeria,if the north does not agree,then they will have to form their country and keep running a unitary system of government 2 Likes 1 Share |

The only way to get good leaders is by restructuring which will make the people look inward and present their best eleven. Only the SS region that depends on crude oil should be in recession now and other regions isolated from it 1 Like |
