Aminu Tambuwal, Sokoto state governor, says the north will accept restructuring if no state gets a disproportionate share of resources.

Some prominent Nigerians including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar have been calling for a restructuring of the country.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) had set up a committee to look into the demands.

Speaking at a conference in Kaduna on Tuesday, Tambuwal said the north was not opposed to restructuring.

He said the region would embrace the idea if all states in the country would get equal share of resources, access to education and jobs.

“Only recently, the northern states governors’ forum and northern traditional leaders council committee on restructuring of the Nigerian federation which I chair inaugurated a technical committee reflecting the amazing diversity of northern Nigeria to look at the issues surrounding the call for restructuring and get the aggregate views of the north and present same to the committee for use during the proposed town hall/public hearings across the 19 northern states,” he said.

“We have ensured that the technical committee members are personalities who have proven themselves in various fields, people with the intellectual ability and experience to contrast, aggregate and analyse the views of the north and how they impact on the growth and development of this country.

“Therefore, the idea that the north is against restructuring because it benefits most from the current state of things is circumscribed and patently false. The fact that some people continue to parrot such a lie only help to give credence to the flawed argument. Let us be clear: the north wants restructuring as much as anyone else. However, as a people, we do not easily jump unto the bandwagon because we are always there for the long haul. We believe that any decision we take must be inclusive, and respect procedures and processes so that the outcome is sustainable.

“I think we should first, as a country, agree on a mutual definition of the term restructuring. In my view, if restructuring means taking stock of our arrangement to ensure that no state takes a disproportionate amount of the resources, or most of the available space in the education or job sector, or subjugate the others’ culture or religion, or lords it over the other so that the number of the poor and uneducated whose future is circumscribed by their circumstance is shared proportionately, then we are game.”

The governor said the north wanted a country where there was peace and progress, and “where justice is a given, where all lives are safe and people can pursue their legitimate livelihoods wherever they choose”.

I tend to wonder who the hell gave these ugly northerners the expressed arrogance to spew crap whenever issues that centered on national interest is being discussed? Anyway, I had blame the Yari.ba and certain but goofy so-called minorities from southern Nigeria that sold out during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war.

There is no such thing as 'looking for equality'
Restructuring is resources control, more control to the state/region/geopolitical zones to organises their area and use whatever resources to solve their problems. The problem is most of the Northern states don't have the capacity and resources to stand and they have been benefitting more from this flawed arrangements for ages.

Tambuwa is confuse and doesn't understand what restructuring is all about
Is this devolution of power not what we practiced during our parliamentary system that lead to coup and counter coup and subsequent Biafra?
How do you expect us to go back where we tested and failed?
You can't expect us to follow you on your suicide mission.
if you don't want to commit suicide we will force you to live and challenge your fears maybe your children will thank us later.
