The Head of the Southern Governors is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association.
Lawan is a mediocre lawyer who could never have gotten admission to any University in the South to study law. After all, even the dundee Minister of Finance and mumu FIRS Chairman both couldn't pass ICAN.

Southern governors instead of talking should move on the next line of action instead of talking...... pressure all southern senators and house of rep members to make a call for restructuring and bills for such.... senators from benue and pleatue states, Yoruba populated areas of kogi and kwara, and senators/reps from minority groups in the north should also push for a restructuring bill, Britain, the United States, the United Nations and the international community should also be involved by southern leaders in the process.

It was totally WRONG for the Senate President to have berated the elected heads of federating units for pursing the interests of their states. He simply made a big fool of himself. It is the Northern Governors' Forum that is supposed to speak in pursuit of their own interests.

The truth is 'na pressure dey burst pipe'. There is need to keep up the pressure to restructure Nigeria and make it politically strong and economically prosperous once again. Therefore, the Southern States' Governors should encourage their Houses of Assembly to follow up on this recent actions by immediately organizing town-hall meetings and special hearings about restructuring the Nigeria to gather the views of ordinary citizens of their states.

The current structure of Nigeria is inhibiting our growth as country. The need to restructure is crucial but the Northerners have selfishly refused to see this. The Southerners can't just sit in there helplessly and mop. The Nigeria project partnership is neither a TRAP nor a SLAVERY.

Its a fact that Nigeria was better of during regionalism until a southerner truncated it for state creation. Kindly Google the name of the southerner before you insult our common intelligence. Karma is always a bitch.

Lawal is right. Selective restructuring doesn't make sense. The way forward is to carry out restructuring at lg, state and federal levels simultaneously. There's cry of marginalisation in almost all the states, let restructuring start from there. May God continue to bless our dear native land of Nigeria and decimate her detractors.

Restructuring: Don’t vilify Southern Governors, Okowa warns Lawan

…insists Nigerians must sit down, discuss

Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has condemned the public vilification of the southern governors who recently called for restructuring and fiscal federalism.

It will be recalled that the Senate President and Chairman of the National Assembly, Senator Ahmed Lawan on Thursday after observing the Eid prayers at the presidential villa, Abuja picked holes with the Governors resolutions, asking them to first start the restructuring in their respective states.

Incidentally, the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila and the House of Representatives had disowned Lawan and washed off their hands from his utterance on the issue.

Okowa sho spoke at the empowerment scheme of the minority leader of the House, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu on Saturday in Asaba, Delta State said it was utterly wrong to toe attack the southern governors.

He said that other leaders in the country should rather emulate the Governors.

Okowa insisted that Nigerians must gather at a table to discuss the good and future of the country.

He also thanked the members of the House for replying to Lawan.

“We reaffirm, as elected governors, we believe in the unity of our people. That cannot be a reason for us to be vilified.

When we sit at the table, we will be able to discuss best what is good for Nigeria”, he said

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/05/restructuring-dont-vilify-southern-governors-okowa-warns-lawan/

By the word vilify, Okowa mean that Senator Ahmed Lawan should not speak or write about in an abusively disparaging manner the actions of the southern governors who met at Asaba during the week where they issued a communique to ban open grazing in their respective states in the southern part of Nigeria.

As a follow to that meeting, Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon. Gbajabiamila the Speaker of the House of Representative was quoted to have criticised state governors from the southern region of Nigeria for championing restructuring in their state.

Senator Lawan and Hon. Gbajabiamila said they (governors of the southern regions ) should start restructuring first hand from their respective states and that as elected government officials they should not be seen speaking up for restructuring even though their position may somehow be valid.

Lawan should be asked to step down from the position of the Senate President. He is obviously not fit for that position.

The Stupid Victims mindset like this has made the North lord over you. Who told you that the South is a minority? Nnamdi Kanu? That's victim mindset will always keep you at a low.


The North has a slightly larger population due to a false census, and since they know that they are weaker and lesser than the South in everything, the inferiority complex pushed them to be brutal. And yet still, their brutality has kept them always below the south in all index.

The same inferiority complex is what Nnamdi Kanu is selling to you guys.

Some northern states in exercise of their rights as federating units started sharia and setup Hisbah police for enforcement. Since that time millions of bottles of beer have been destroyed even when the federal laws aren't against alcohol trading. Is it not idiotic for Lawan to overlook Hisbah and their activities while condemning the actions of Governors of other states for attempting to exercise their own democratic rights.

In this Nigeria, If you're not aggressive and utterly outspoken, the northerners don't mind pocketing you. Why would okowa dignify lawan with this diplomatic response instead of him to round up the whole northerners and rain collective insults on them. He ought to have told lawan who would want their states look like the unsecured north, ravaged with poverty, filled largely with unhappy, disgruntled people dying in silence. We don't want our states feel threatened by marauders parading as terrorists in the form herdsmen. These leaders in our south would be forming gentle on national issues while been a cankerworm with our national money.
