Restructuring Won’t Put Food On The Table Of Nigerians —presidency by nwakibie3(m): 7:51am On Sep 11, 2017 |
The presidency, on Friday, said Nigeria, at present, does not need restructuring as being clamoured for across the country, adding that what is needed, instead, is economic development to provide food for the populace. Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to President Muhammadu Buhari, Malam Garba Shehu, disclosed this while receiving some northern clerics who staged a rally to support the president and the Nigerian military on the fight against insurgency. However, the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, said restructuring would put food on the table of several millions of Nigerians and declared that the presidency spoke out of ignorance and lacked an understanding of the issues at stake. The spokesman of the group, Mr Yinka Odumakin, also said restructuring would not only ensure food security, but also raised the economic base of the country from the N6 trillion per annum, currently generated from the oil and gas sector, to N50 trillion. Garba Shehu said his office has been receiving, on a daily basis, communiqués and resolutions from groups, calling for restructuring of the country and constitution review, adding, however that what Nigeria needed at the moment was peace for its citizens to go about their businesses. The presidential aide also said the country was also in need of means to revamp the economy in order to be able to put food on the tables of the citizens and not restructuring or constitution review. “Every day, we read one communique or resolution from one group or the other, asking government to review the constitution and restructure. First of all, we need peace in Nigeria. Without peace, there will not be development or progress. Ordinary Nigerians want peace so that they can go about their lawful activities. “Ordinary Nigerians want food to eat. It is not constitutional review and restructuring that will put food on the table. It is a better economy and this is what the president is doing, trying to ensure that the resources in the country are very well managed. “A situation where a few people in the past have been taking everything and pocketing our resources and sharing among themselves, is over now. The president will make sure that whatever is available to the people of this country goes around the country and is evenly distributed,” he said. However, Odumakin differed with the presidential aide as he said the position of the presidency was a clear demonstration of what he described as “the palpable level of ignorance at the highest level of governance in the country. “Restructuring will definitely put food on the tables of several millions of Nigerians. At the 2014 National Conference, we looked at the resources map of Nigeria and discovered that, if we remove mineral resources from the Exclusive List to the Concurrent List or the Residual List, Nigeria has the capacity to have a N50 trillion economy as against the paltry N6 trillion which we are currently generating from oil and gas. “If we do this, can you imagine the huge number of people that will be gainfully employed? All the restive youths who are busy with insurgency in the North and the militants in the Niger Delta will be productively engaged. “It is lamentable ignorance at the highest level to say restructuring will not put food on the table of Nigerians. Even if we stopped corruption, there will still be hunger in the land because the N6 trillion-national economy, based on oil and gas alone, is too paltry to take care of the population. “Definitely if we restructure the country today, it will put food on the table and smile on the faces of several millions of Nigerians and also improve the national economy,” he said. http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/restructuring-wont-put-food-table-nigerians-presidency/

I'm liking Afenifere day by day. Thank God for Christian Yorubas, the liberals and traditionalists inclusive. I still consider this restructuring and Biafra a mirage until SS step in. For now they're still laid back or sitting on the fence. But the SE & SW should continue firing on, hopefully, SS will act in due time. We have to crash this feeding bottle system of government but until the SS play an active role, the SW & SE are just making noise. If we don't act now while the heat is on, southerners should forever remain quiet and enjoy whatever maltreatment and injustice the North met against them. North is about to win again. 6 Likes |

Restructuring will not put food on the table but a better economy will. Years ago we had a parliamentary system of government and much political unrest. This system of government was soon truncated. It's not the system that provides growth but the people. |

This government playing chess with the people. Why did they set up a 5 man committee of governors (headed by El-rufai) to define restructuring? They are already shooting down the assignment given to that committee even before they have sat or come out with a recommendation. Can you really put your trust and faith in a government that keeps flip-flopping and talks from both sides of their mouth? 1 Like 1 Share |
