Acting President Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo has stated that Nigeria cannot go back to issues settled during the
civil war.
He said this following agitations
for secession by different Igbo groups and counter accusations by Arewa youth
groups.
Osinbajo said that the Federal
Government was planning to come out with policies to address perceived
marginalisation, lack of inclusiveness and inequity.
The Acting President spoke
yesterday at the official presentation of the book, entitled “Nigeria, The
Restructuring Controversy,” written by Chairman, Police Service Commission and
former Inspector General of Police, Dr. Mike Okiro.
Osinbajo, who was represented by
his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojodu, said the
Federal Government was taking serious note of all the talks, debates and
discussions about the issue.
He said, “The beauty of Nigeria as a nation, unlike other countries, is that we don’t quickly take to any arms and fight over issues. It is good to talk, debate and bring out possible solutions, which are what is happening.
“We can assure Nigerians that we are looking at all the contributions being made, and very soon, we are going to come out with policies that will address some of these agitations.
“I know for a fact that we all believe in this country. No matter who you are, we are all committed to Nigeria. Yes, there is challenge of lack of inclusiveness. Many are unemployed, many others don’t have food to eat. Others are having issues with identity of whom they are and where they belong.
“But we cannot go back to issues we resolved during the civil war. We are working to achieve equity, justice and fairness. We want a situation where every Nigerian wakes up and is able to feed himself, every Nigerian wakes up and are employed. Then all these issues will be over.”
Hmmmmm, na waah for this diminutive pint-sized acting president oooo. Which of the issues were settled after the civil war? Where is the equity, fairness and jobs and feeding he talked about. You see, we keep saying that the so-called elites are Nigeria's problems. They are scattered in all the geo-political zones and ethnic groups in Nigeria. Is the acting or "coordinating" president alright. No wonder they say he is in government not in power. The cabal is making him look like an orphan. Yet he left where he should tackle and dabble where he knows little all about.
