AFENIFERE LAMBASTS GOVERNOR AMINU TAMBUWAL

Apex Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin, slamed the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal for insisting that Nigeria should not be structured.

However, Tambuwal had strongly opposed the call for restructuring, insisting that Nigeria remain indivisible.

Afenifere, insisted that the present structure of Nigeria is

iniquitous, skewed, unfair, unjust and not conducive to justice, harmony, development and happiness of the constituent units of the country.

 However, Odumakin, insisted that the current unstable and agitation hitting the country will not have a peaceful resolution if leaders of the country, like Tambuwal, have such a mindset.

He said:

Today, Nigeria is on ground zero with the government as confused as the governed and we are on our knees praying to avert our looming implosion. And it is only those dwelling in mischief or the hopelessly ignorant that would not see that the terminal crisis in Nigeria today, flows from our structural dysfunctionality. 

It is therefore perfidious for anyone to tell us at this stage that the constituent units of Nigeria should be in their chains inside a suffocating cage with a little more meat added to the slave ration they currently enjoy.
