No To Restructuring, ACF Insists by JuliettaBitch(f): 10:38pm On Aug 07, 2016 |
By Chidi Obineche Apex socio – political organization of the North, the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has accused those canvassing for restructuring of Nigeria of having no regard for decorumw or civility, as the issues are often presented as “demands” by one group or the other. The group observed that in most cases, the demands are followed up with ultimatums to the authorities to accept or face deadly consequences. The group made the observations in a communiqué issued at the end of their National Executive Council, NEC meeting held at its headquarters in Kaduna recently, and signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Muhammadu Ibrahim. According to the group, “restructuring” means different things to many people, with some believing it to mean “true” federalism, while others call it “resource control.” The group, however contended that “restructuring a complex, big, and diverse country as Nigeria is a serious business that must take account of the views of all its citizens, and not just of those that shout the loudest, or issue threats, intimidation or blackmail.” It further added that the present democratic structure in Nigeria provides ample opportunity for groups and individuals to present their agitations through their representatives at the National and State Assemblies. Continuing, the ACF said that it was inconceivable for people to be talking about restructuring at a time when the nation was facing “ more serious security challenges, social and economic problems like the destruction of our oil pipelines by Niger Delta Militants, Boko Haram insurgency, youth restiveness, drastic drop in oil revenue, unnecessary killings and kidnapping of innocent persons, etc that require all hands to be on deck, rather than diverting the attention and resources of government on an issue that could be tackled by our present democratic structure.” It therefore dubbed the agitation for restructuring as “diversionary and misplaced priority.” The group also regretted that despite the efforts of the military and other security agencies in tackling insurgency, militancy, kidnapping and indiscriminate killing of innocent persons by “unknown gunmen”, the menace has continued, posing serious threat to the peaceful co-existence of Nigerians. It condemned the recent killing of the traditional ruler of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, the Saf Ron Kulere, Lazarus Agai and called on security agencies to not only fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act, but prosecute them to serve as deterrent to others. The ACF also extended its condolences to the government and people of Plateau State, and the family of the paramount ruler over the killing. On the issue of illegal mining and the attendant health hazards it poses to most communities in many northern states, especially in Zamfara, it observed that they are exposed to lead poisoning and other health problems, and urged the governments and other appropriate authorities to not only enact and enforce laws governing solid minerals extraction, but also put in place adequate health measures to ensure the safety of lives of the people living in the mining areas. http://sunnewsonline.com/no-to-restructuring-acf-insists/ Lalasticlala Mydn44

What are these ones saying? Restructuring is perfect at this time to calm the nerves of every region and ethnic groups agitating for one thing or the other. They should also note that some of those "representing themselves or us" are simply there for thier selfish gains and thier voices may change nothing. 5 Likes |

The excuses they gave as reasons not to restructure is laughable. ..Boko Haram, kidnapping etc.. ...it's not as if these problems started yesterday, so it shouldn't be an excuse for us not to restructure our country. ...the story of Nigeria is one in which the southern part of the country generates 90% of the revenue while the northern part just want to rule.. .the current scenario in Nigeria is making most governors lazy.. .all they do is go to abuja to share money at the end of the month. .. |

what a selfish and parasitic set of pipu well, I blame GEJ for not have implemented the national confab report which was delivered on his table and he sheepishly tried to use it as electoral strategies not minding there're certin things you don't take for granted he will forever bite his fingers for that gross error...as that would've been his biggest achievement as an ex president of Nigeria 4 Likes 2 Shares |

GEJ cannot bite his fingers more than those who misled the country to the ugly situation she's currently experiencing. They'd forever rue their shenanigans and selfish decisions. The Yoruba man, Obj, had the greatest opportunity to restructure Nigeria but he blew the rare opportunity away in practising do or die politics, entrenching undemocratic principles and enriching himself and his cronies at the expense of the masses. 1 Like 1 Share |

If you say "no" to peaceful restructuring, violent restructuring is inevitable! That's why we need to back NDA because they have proved to be sincere in their struggle for a better tomorrow. Amadioha will handle you if you quote me wrongly. |

[quote author=fulanmafia post=48290608][/quote[color=#006600][/color]]. People with you kind of ideas are the reason why Nigeria can never be great. Your ideas are seriously limited by ethnic bigotry. You think you are promoting the interest of Arewa people but you inadvertently conflagrating the country. The restructuring of the nation will not only help every region in the country to grow, it will preserve the unity of the nation which of course Arewa needs more than any other region for international trade. If only you can see a little beyound your nose , then you would know a violent break up is imminent and no body will be immune to the consequences . if we don't die in it our loved ones will. The country has shown every feature of a failed state, only restructuring can save it from total collapse 1 Like |
