An elder statesman and Muslim
leader in Rivers State, Alhaji Abubakar Orlu, has advised the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led government to divide the country into six.
He said the country was due for
restructuring, stressing that Nigerians should not deceive themselves of being
a united nation.
Alhaji Orlu said this yesterday,
in Port Harcourt, the state capital, while speaking on the state of the nation.
He emphasized that without
restructuring, regional agitations would not end.
The elder statesman chided the
All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government for its lopsidedness in
federal appointments, pointing out that the marginalization demonstrated by the
government was the bane of the agitations across the country.
He stated, “Those, who are not supporting restructuring, are ignorant of what is happening in the country. They are enemies of the country. If they know what restructuring stands for, they will not opposed to it. I want you to know that, Nigeria of today, is not united and we should not deceive ourselves.
“Is it not clear that in the South-South and South East, this Federal government has nothing to show? That is not what government is all about. Previous government spent time developing the North. The issue of being voted for or not, should not determine development of an area.
He further cautioned the federal
government on the Biafra agitation, stressing that the struggle would not die
in the minds of South East people.
He said the call for
restructuring could only pacify them.
“What we need is to appeal to them (Biafra people) to accept restructuring for us to live together in peace as one Nigeria. I want to state that the Biafra struggle is in the minds and blood of South East people and, therefore, cannot die. So, Federal Government should appeal to them to accept restructuring.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“Without restructuring this country, Nigeria will find it difficult to live together in peace because there is no unity. Let us restructure this country before the 2019 general elections, so that we can live as one country.”
