Anyaoku, Sani,Bruce Call For Confab Report Implementation by Nnabugwu8590: 7:29pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
Anyaoku, Sani, Bruce call for confab report implementation Prominent Nigerians on Wednesday urged the Federal Government to implement the report of the 2014 National Conference, saying that is only way to curb the forces threatening Nigeria’s existence as a nation. Those that made the call included a former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Senators, Shehu Sani and Ben Murray- Bruce, former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, former National Chairman of Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu, The Publicity Secretary of the pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Yinka Odunmakin and a public policy analyst, Yadoma Bukak Mandara. They spoke at the 40th anniversary of Ondo State and seven- year anniversary symposium of Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s administration held at International Cultural and Event Centre (DOME) in Akure, the state capital. The theme of the event was: “Curtailing Nigeria’s Centrifugal forces.” Anyaoku, who chaired the event, said, “my view which I articulated mostly is that restructuring the present government’s architecture by adopting a true federalism will go a long way in enabling us to achieve a speedy development and the political stability which would reduce the enablement of centrifugal forces in Nigeria.” The former Commonwealth scribe asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately convene emergency meeting with experts in order to get solutions to the current economic crisis. He, however, backed the President on his position on the naira devaluation by saying, those calling for official devaluation of naira need to come up with a good answer to Nigeria present situation. Sani said the government must learn to do things in different ways, noting that if previous governments had been working on an agenda by now the country’s problems should have been solved. Bruce said, “We are talking about state police and we have forgotten that before 1960, we have state police. And during the regional system, the west, east and north were doing fine. “Now, we come together, 55 percent of the budget is spent by the federal government and we are starving the states to death. “We must change the whole federal system to reflect what really make sense. And people must learn to impeach governors who will not judiciously spend the fund.” Source: The Nation Newspaper |

Right from time the foundation of this nation was faulty but a certain region persistently does not want it correct.Only true federalism can restructure Nigeria.The earlier we accept this reality the better. |
