The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has been chided by
Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, for rejecting the
call for Nigeria's restructuring. Governor Tambuwal had rejected the
clamour for restructuring, claiming that Nigeria's unity is
non-negotiable.
However, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere described Tambuwal's statement as parochial; and insisted that the present structure of Nigeria is "iniquitous, skewed, unfair, unjust and not conducive to justice, harmony, development and happiness of the constituent units of the country."
Going further, Odumakin argued that the current crisis besieging the country will evade peaceful resolution if leaders of the country, such as Tambuwal, have such a mindset.
He said: "Today, Nigeria is on ground zero with the government as confused as the governed; and we are on our knees praying to avert our looming implosion. And it is only those dwelling in mischief or the hopelessly ignorant that would not see that the terminal crisis in Nigeria today, flows from our structural dysfunctionality.
"It is therefore perfidious for anyone to tell us at this stage that the constituent units of Nigeria should be in their chains inside a suffocating cage with a little more meat added to the slave ration they currently enjoy."
