A member of the National
Executive Council of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Mohammed Abdulrahman has
described the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai’s comment opposing
restructuring of Nigeria as “irresponsible.”
He made the remark while reacting
to El-Rufai’s comment, saying those calling for restructuring of the country
are “opportunists.”
Speaking with Punch, Abdulrahman
said the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, lacks
understanding of the “pulse of the nation.”
Abdulrahman maintained that
Nigeria will be peaceful when it is restructured.
He said, “Kaduna State Governor,
Nasir el-Rufai, said those clamouring for restructuring are opportunists.
What’s your reaction to that?
“Let me state categorically that
the statement of Governor Nasir el-Rufai is irresponsible. I do not think he
has spoken as someone who understands the pulse of the nation.
” How can he say those who are
calling for more powers to be given to each of the federating units of the
federation are opportunists?
“What about him? We know about
his ambition; he wants to be president of this country. We know what he did as
the Federal Capital Territory minister under the regime of Olusegun Obasanjo.
“His tainted records are there
for all to see. Who is he? We know who he is. People need to understand that
the call for restructuring is not about some individual’s interests.
“It is what will bring lasting
peace and sense of equity to the federating units.
“Is he saying that other
prominent and respected Nigerians who have thrown their weight behind
restructuring are opportunists.”
