Against the backdrop of calls for true federalism, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has said restructuring was not the panacea to the nation’s current socio-economic woes. Instead, Ganduje explained that Nigerians for now needed to restructure their mindsets to return the country to the path of progress.
The governor noted that the United States was more geo-politically fragmented and had more nationalities than Nigeria, yet it remained the strongest nation in the world. According to Ganduje, the US attained its present status because of the ability of its leaders to harness the positive thoughts and actions of its heterogeneous population and not by restructuring the country along geopolitical divides.
Ganduje, who spoke during a social event organized in honour of delegates to a pre-election meeting of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, in Kano, advocated that Nigeria should devote attention to tapping from the potentialities of its youths for national integration and development.
Lamenting the high prevalence of corruption in Nigeria, the governor argued that youths were the best segment of the society to lead in the crusade against it, in view of their physical and intellectual capacity as well as their leadership potential.

Is this clown really a doctorate degree holder? What system of government is the us practising? Nigeria dumped parliamentary system and went for federalism, rather stick to true federalism that will bring about competition among the federating unit which will in turn bring about prosperity because each unit will strive to make it knowing fully well that they are responsible for their welfare, this man is here talking trash.
ReplyDeleteTypical northern mindset. Enemy of progress and a lazy burden on the rest of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder how some member of this nation could attain a degree when their is nothing up their whenever they cough it's just a pity
ReplyDeleteThe question governor Ganduge should ask himself is whether we are operating a federal system of government like that of the US? His example is absurd and actually supports the argument of the advocates of restructuring! The earlier we practice true federalism in this country, the better it is for us all.
ReplyDeleteHausa graduate. It cannot be any better. He cannot think further. Brain is frozen.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the North afraid of restructure. Is there any man made venture that is ever lasting suitable and doesn't need need appraisal
