Nice, but Atiku, the consummate politician shouldn't just say it to massage bruised egos and as mere lip service to position himself in furtherance of his barely concealed ambition..... Mere posturing and rhetorics won't cut it.. He controls the N-PDP and has half his body in the PDP, he should use the REPS to push for it in the "right" way it should be done..... 59 Likes 7 Shares |

Why is the federal government so keen on holding all the powers in this country? I would think allowing every state control their resources will bring more precise development economically, socially and would cost less to run this entity called Nigeria 37 Likes 1 Share |

Watch it- the Lost Children of Uganda will forget he's an "illiterate gworo chewing almajiri raising Abok! from the North" and agree hook line and sinker with every alphabet of the words he's uttered, because in their little minds, this is a statement critical of FG and by extension Buhari. We've always been pro true federalism and resource control because it is indeed a panacea to the myriad of problems buffeting our nascent democracy/economy since independence. Let the FG control the Army, protecting our sovereignty, while the economy is principally controlled by the states. That is what we have always wanted. But what we would always be against is some group of persons trying to blackmail/intimidate the FG into doing their bidding regardless of its propriety. When people like Atiku start making statements like this, I tend to get very suspicious because he's occupied such position as to have greatly influenced the FG into taking serious steps towards the realisation of this lofty aspiration- what stopped him from doing so back then?? Would he do the same if he becomes the president tomorrow?? Hell, is this statement meant to warm him up to some people given that PDP has zoned their party's ticket to the North?? Is he being truly altruistic or cunning?? Only time will tell. 50 Likes 11 Shares |

omenka: I pray for the day u will find peace in ur heart and grow up. Get ur head out of the sand or ur butt crack, whichever stinks worse, and smell the coffee! It is to the advantage of all and d entity called Nigeria, to renegotiate our terms of existence and ensure devolution of powers to the federating units. A real patriot actually interested in seeing Nigeria work would never oppose this with the extreme alternative being a total dissolution into 2 or as many sovereign nations. Too much power at the center is what has led to the deadly do or die politics practiced in this country. Take some time out, assimilate this fact and stop living and breathing Buhari/APC. The masses that demand this real and fundamental change are far greater than Buhari and APC with their cosmetic change. 148 Likes 18 Shares |

someone is talking..The only man that could have given APC the change they clamored for.. 65% of what is going on in this present goverment.Buhari dont know what it means... openly he said He does not know what is Subsidy, He later added he doesn't know what is padding. Rule of law, true Federalism, national reconciliation he does not know either.. He only knows and understand like a Dictator... kill,arrest,prosecute, detain..

Former president Ebele Jonathan have already don that by organising the national conference. All the major problems we face now were discuss and solutions were discuss and finalised. All must support or force the present government to implement the national comfab resolutions. 34 Likes 1 Share |

sweetilicious: A new hope seemed to swell within me as I patiently read through the huge 2014 Confab Report . Every sincere Nigerian knows Nigeria must be restructured for it work better; the current structure is counter productive, corrupt and suffocating. A genuine restructuring will drown all these secessionist voices and tendencies. A bigger Nigeria is better for us all; a restructured Nigeria is even better for us all. **** 38 Likes 4 Shares |

Better late than never. Though, Atiku was only being ''politically'' correct because of his audience. Would he have said that if his audience was a babariga wearing one? By the way sir, you were VP of the Federal Republic for 8years, why were you not able to champion this then? 12 Likes 1 Share |

omenka:I understand your penchant for high sounding vocabulary most times aimed at hoodwinking Ur fellow zombies into thinking that you ve made some sense. It is wrong that u ve persistently shown your animosity and congenital taste of bile for d ppl of a particular region in all your epistles. What Atiku is endorsing here is consistent with Ojukwu position pre-civil war during d Aburi Accord in Ghana where he proposed confederation with a central govt. Awolowo agreed only to renege while back in Nigeria and d Gowon govt settling his betrayal prowess with position of Finance Minister and his subsequent confiscation of all d money of d 5% constituents who survived d starvation and d release of only 20pounds irrespective of how much u had in d Nigerian banks. This was how d seed of discord was sown and whatever we are getting now d unavoidable fruits. Confederation failed then and there is no guarantee it will succeed now cos of our saboteur brethren. Atiku has moved a notch higher now to be d first from d North that is advising a renegotiation of d union of which divorce is an option thru a referendum .The first step in renegotiating a marriage is whether or not d union will remain ( by referendum) and if in d affirmative then d terms. No body is intimidating or blackmailing d FG but u dont treat a section of a country as conquered territory and expect to have peace. It is gratifying to observe DAT while NL mods are doing everything to censor the use of d Byafra word, it has rather become d metaphor for all d marginalized/suppressed voices as succinctly captioned in d title of this book 'We Are All Biafran' reminding us we are all victims of d obvious injustices as obtainable in this Lord Lugard contraption. The only sense u made is that this altruistic 'wailing' revelation coming from Atiku that it is suspicious. 53 Likes 10 Shares |
