Extract Of Atiku Plan Part 1 : On Restructuring Nigeria by tochukwuifediba: 2:15pm On Nov 19, 2018 |
Extract of Atiku Plan Part 1 : On Restructuring Nigeria The structure of the country as it is, is not working properly as it should. This indeed is the reality. If we are to grow into a strong, competitive and prosperous economy, we must re-structure the economy and the polity. We must adopt a new economic management model that will cure all the federating units of this addiction to oil revenues. Through constitutional means, we must strive to establish a new political structure that reinforces the concept of 'true federalism' by conceding unfettered autonomy to the subordinating units and ensuring government accountability at all levels. Nigeria's unity is being threatened by internal conflicts, agitations, restiveness, insurgency, and religious intolerance. Our unity as a nation has been fatally bruised in the past because there had been pretences about how it would be structured. Social cohesion is being eroded, democratic consolidation being undermined and national unity and security threatened by ethno-religious tensions and disputes over titles and entitlements. Today, Nigeria and Nigerians suffer from terrorist attacks in the North, militancy in the Delta and communal violence in the Middle Belt. There are cult wars in the South, kidnappings, armed robberies, and everyday acts of thuggery throughout the country. Nigeria needs a unity that is transparently and collectively negotiated and agreed upon. This is the only way to douse the divisive tension and neutralize the negative elements of identity politics, which create a morbid environment of “we” against “them” with its attendant impetus for desperate struggle to control leadership. We need to restructure our polity. 1 Like |
