Sokoto - Sen. Ibrahim Gobir (PDP- Sokoto), says the National Assembly members will partner with other key stakeholders to ensure that Nigeria remains a united and indivisible entity. According to Gobir, Nigeria will not break up in 2015, as being predicted by some people. Gobir, who represents Sokoto East Senatorial District, told newsmen on Sunday in Sokoto that such a prediction would not come to fruition and such cynics would be disappointed. “Nigeria will rather come out stronger and more united in 2015 and beyond. Our diverse religious, ethnic and cultural differences should therefore be the basis of our unity. “Similarly, the vast population of Nigeria should be used as strength and not a curse,’’ he said. The Senator also called for concerted efforts by the government to ensure the exploration of the vast solid mineral resources in Nigeria, including oil in the North. “We all have equal stakes in Nigeria and none should work against the sustainable growth and development of the country. He said that Nigerians should also desist from acts capable of stunting the growth of the nation. According to him, “peace building and unity should be our major pre- occupation to ensure socio-political and economic development of the country”.

EMEKA Ugwu-Oju is the President of South East/ South South Professionals, SESSP. In this interview, he argues that any attempt to tamper with the eventual outcome of the proposed national conference, might lead to anarchy, describing the confab as a panacea to Nigeria’s future. Ugwu-Oju also spoke on other issues. Excerpts: The proposed national conference is generating mixed reactions across the country, particularly among those, who argued that it was informed by ulterior motives. What is your position on it? We believe the country is not working. The country, in many areas, is moving backwards in terms of factors like the quality of education, infrastructure and governance. Anything that would help rescue the situation is welcome. The national dialogue is one of the areas that can help address the country’s deplorable situation. Many intelligent, experienced and respectable Nigerians have seen the national conference as one of the keys to reversing our retrogression. On that basis, it is an idea that we should try to explore, however, it is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Do you think the conference will address the fundamental issues threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria? Right now, the president has inaugurated a committee to determine the modalities and maybe some of the things that could help as a guide. There is nothing like no-go areas; it is an open slate that Nigerians should use to draw whatever they think could reshape the country. At the South East-South- South Professional Association of Nigeria, we have started consulting the people and we intend to go round the country but now, our emphasis is still on the South East and South-South. I believe the president saw that with the way things were going in the country, we might not even have an election if we did not have the conference. Those who are saying why now should give the president the chance to deliver. Going to the last incident that happened in Benin — I was there personally, it was a situation where the people there would have lynched the governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, had he not been smuggled out. When you have people there, who are leaders of their nationalities and youths with the temperament displayed in that public arena, it will give you some inkling on what some people have not seen. They see the national conference as a way to make them continue to believe in being part of a country called Nigeria. The governor said it was a waste of time that would not lead anywhere. The antagonists of the confab are hinging their opposition on the fact that anything short of sovereign national conference, will not address the issues holding the nation down? This is because you are playing with words. People are not being rational. A committee is set up to work out the modalities from the people. We see a country that is totally disintegrating and we are just managing it. There are so many no-go areas in this part of the country called Nigeria. The committee is to draw up a template and people agree that the template is what could rescue Nigeria or if not, how people can go their separate ways peacefully. After 100 years, they can go their different ways peacefully or that we should know how the next 100 years should be. In that instance, the template should determine how the next 100 years should look like. What will make it work is for that template to be accepted by the people whether it is sovereign or not. What they want is that we agree to be part of this country or not. If we agree, then we must be able to say this is how we want the country to look like. Nobody should change that agreement. The most important thing is for the interest of each ethnic nationality to be well aggregated and represented in the new Constitution. Do you agree with the President’s suggestion that the eventual outcome of the conference will be forwarded to the national Assembly for ratification? The president has only expressed an opinion. Let them finish the conference then we will see if anyone will change the outcome. I do not believe the National Assembly can alter the outcome of the conference because it can lead to anarchy. Even if the outcome means some people would be out of jobs, then let it be; the will of the people is sacrosanct to any other personal feeling. We are not going to sit down if what we are going to agree upon would be tampered with by anybody, be it the Presidency or the National Assembly because that would amount to a waste of time. The president has set up a committee that would sit for six weeks, to chart a modality for the conference. If whatever comes out is not acceptable to the people, they will not go and waste their time. People confuse things. There is no conference going on now; it is to agree on the ways to go about the conference because people just do not want to waste their time. That is why some people are making their positions known. For instance, if people from the South-South say they want the conference to be subjected to a referendum, then anything short of that would mean they would boycott the conference. If we do not bother about the situation on ground, the country will continue disintegrating and who knows where the whole crisis would lead to in the long run. Before the president came with the idea if the national dialogue, many people from the South East and South-South were thinking of having a plebiscite — whether to still be part of this country or not. So, if there is no dialogue, we will have it the other way round. I am sure this is part of the things the president must have seen. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/nass-cant-alter-confab-outcome-ugwu-oju/ |

collynzo2: What a miserable letter. |
quite pathetic. more pathetic is dat most APC e-warriors are already disowning him. somtims i wonder wat life wud hv bn wud hav bn without God's mercy. |
Usbeel: Joke of the century!!! He will either step down or rule the south only(that mean south will knelt on its knees, and experiences under development-that's if GEJ is 2 rule d south).says who? a parasite like u? its funny u dont understand body language. d south wants to dust u off cos u r nothing but impediment,s liabilities and burden to her wheel of progress, and u are here "making mouth". u tink u r still relevant. |
Built2last: @op, its either you are suffering from shear ignorance or probably high on something very cheap. Your permutations are far from political reality. The underlining factor in politics is interest. yes, 5 of the 7 governors are gone but never put your trust in them to deliver the north to APC. We have not heard a good census to give us the number of Christians that are in Northern Nigeria. Jonathan will gather 35% simpathy vote from the Christians up north. Religion will be a serious factor in 2015 with the born to rule mentality that northern muslims are exhibiting.d guy is just as confused as APC who is not sure of d ideologies it truly stands for. u so hate d SS and SE yet u r counting on dem to deliver Edo and Imo. what an irony! D difference is dis, unlike ur North dat is littered wit alimajiris zombies, SS and SE are learned and so, can make decisions for demselves. btw, isn't it a sheer ingnorance or stupidity for any political analyst to tink a seating president can be voted out by few aggrieved and whinning folks? |
1MCN: Trust me, I don't hail any divide in this imbroglio but reading thru this your comment and so many others you've made in the past I wonder how on earth you cannot make your views and opinions clear in an argument without insulting other people with contrary opinion. I'd strongly suggest you drop this puerile deliquency before it totally becomes your default setting even in a face to face debate. Am saying this now even at the risk of receiving my own share of your insolence.to him and his likes, insult is inherent. and for it bn his default setting, it can't be better said. shud u get ur unfair share from him, just find d IGNORE botton within u and click it. meanwhile, i tink d good pple of igboland shud be generous enof to take him for baptism in enugu miracle river. |
stebell: Never knew yu can think like dis.whoever tinks he has wat it takes to beat GEJ come 2015 must be an amateur in Nigeria politics. |
Ellatyra: Where is the beautiful lady? I only saw a picture of Stellau mean she's not beautiful? don't u tink u r bn mischievous? is ur wife/chic/mama dat seductive/ alluring? common wake up. |
caseless: sharrap if u don't have anything meaningful to say! so much about oil money.....those that don't organise such marriage, what have they done with the money they're being given?u r just d !diot dat u r. is dat how u talk to ur papa at home? anyway, u've gat home training. |
caseless: which problem, pesin no go marry? d problem na today?which marriage? with public funds? I still wonder if our pple can ever separate sentiments from realism. marriage is a relationship dat comes wit a lot of reponsibilities. if u r not finacially independent, den forget it. had Nigeria bn a sane country, dese pple will all rot in jail. sincerely, i hope for a day dese guys will no longer be handed free dough from oil money. mtchew. |
caseless: what are u saying? u did not make sense!oh, he made a lot of sense, na u nor grab am. ok let me help u out: he mean say sokoto state gov (and d likes) brains no be follow-come. |
dis pple will never seize 2 amaze me. of all d problems confronting dem, na mass marriage b their priority. its simple, we dont reason alike. |
I just hope and pray the SW wont d go the way of the NE |
Only few wouldn't see this coming. |
There was pandemonium at Baptist High School, Ejigbo in Osun State on Monday as hoodlums invaded the school attacking students, teachers and injuring the principal of the school for allegedly stopping some Muslim pupils from wearing hijab. Our correspondent gathered that some hoodlums stormed the school while the students were already seated in their classrooms. They were said to have headed straight for the Principal’s Office and asked the principal, Mr. Layi Oguntola, to apologise for sending the hijab-wearing students away from school but he the principal allegedly refused the order. A source in the school said the principal was beaten to a pulp by the invaders. It was gathered that the Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Oba Omowonuola Oyesosin, offered his palace as a refuge for the teachers and students while he also ensured the rescue of the principal from the fierce- looking youths. The principal, according to a teacher in the school, was rushed to the Baptist Medical Centre, where he was said to be receiving treatment. www.punchng.com/news/hijab-hoodlums-storm-osun-school-injure-principal-students-2/ |
engrtee: The first is that China’s trade-and-aid strategy targets only states with abundant natural resources and weak – and thus easily influenced – governments. This assertion does not withstand scrutiny. China supports almost all Sub-Saharan African states (except those that do not accept China’s “One China” policy and continue, for example, to recognize Taiwan as an independent country). Indeed, China is no more interested in the continent’s natural resources than are firms from any developed country.this is peculiar to all asian and north african countries. dont work wit dem, if u've gat d choice. |
alfredo4u: This is a clear danger signal to all those big men who are good in sleeping with their bank account officers, in the name of “thank you for banking with us”. While I was in Abuja, inside source showed OluFamous few ladies in top banks who had come to “service” some Senators in a big hotel in the city. I was shocked!yawa don gas eeee. |
okirewaju: Praiiiiiissssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The LorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdHA-—--—LLE-——LU—JAH.... |
Acidosis: Yem-Kem?hey man, stop bn sarcastic. dis is a serious issue on hand. |
