No Group Has Threatened To Pull Out Of Nigeria Yet - Okurounmu by JECBOSS: 4:47pm On Oct 28, 2013 |
No ethnic nationality has yet indicated a willingness to break out of Nigeria, the chairman of the National Conference Advisory Committee, Femi Okurounmu, said Monday as the committee sets out for more consultations ahead of the full talks. The committee is to prepare the details and procedures of a planned national conference due for yet an unscheduled date. The conference committee is presently in Benin, Edo state, for the South-South zone, and had earlier visited Minna, Akure, Jos and Calabar. Mr Okurounmu said the turnout have been “impressive and overwhelming”. Ahead of the talks which many Nigerians have supported, there have been concerns some nationalities may table a proposal to leave the Nigerian nation. Mr Okurounmu said throughout the hearings at various centres across the country, no group has yet threatened to pull of the country. “We have been listening to different groups and views, but no single group who threatens to dismember Nigeria has come before us,” Mr Okurounmu said on Monday. He expressed happiness over the turnout by Nigerians at the different venues of its sittings. “Nigerians have accepted the need to have this conference. In all the centres, Nigerians came from the rural areas, even from the remotest villages to make presentations to us and there are “no-go areas at all”. “We are to listen to all Nigerians and I am happy that the turnout has been encouraging to the extent that we requested for bigger halls,’’ he said. He said Nigerian outside the country can also participate in the committee’s work by sending in their contributions by mail. “Nigerians all over the world are entitled to submit their views, but they must not be in the committee to air their views.” “They have our e-mail address. Let them submit their memo to us and their views will be acknowledged. This is the essence of the committee”. “That is why we are going round to know what are the things agitating the minds of Nigerians”. “We will include these views in our report and these will definitely set the agenda for government and tell government how they want to be governed,’’ he said. premiumtimesng.com/news/147414-group-threatened-pull-nigeria-yet-okurounmu.html

Okunrunmu must be fooling if he thinks are that is happening right now is not tantamount to a threat of succession. 1) sharia law-is completely against the Nigeria constitution and imposing it is the same as declaring independence 2 agitation in the niger delta 3dissatisfaction in the SW 4 Biafra apostles 5middle belt crisis of identity. All these are expressed in different ways but it all points towards one thing;disintegration . There are low level wars being waged right now in different parts of the country. The one Nigeria thing only exist on the thieving minds of those who benefit from it |
