Chairman of Ahmadu Bello Memorial
Foundation’s Advisory Council, Justice Mamman Nasir, has said the North must
not dismiss the calls for restructuring, as doing so will be dangerous for the
country.
He also expressed concern about
increased spread of hate speeches, especially among the youths on different
social media platforms.
He said with the current
situation in the country, Nigeria was at a crossroads where many issues
threatening its continued existence must be appropriately addressed.
Justice Nasir said this yesterday
when he led other members of the foundation on a courtesy visit to the Governor
of Narasawa State, Tanko Al-Makura, in Lafia.
He said, “Nigeria is currently at
a stage we may call crossroads, particularly, the challenge is for the North to
find the appropriate, well-guided response to the myriads of issues surrounding
the nation.
“Most importantly, we cannot
dismiss the calls for the restructuring for whatever that stands for, and the
desires and threats of some groups to dismember the country as mere
developmental challenges.
“The irritating reappearances of
the Boko Haram, even with the dogged commitment of the Nigerian Army to end the
insurgency for good, are also of concern, similarly the pervading hate speech
through the social media that has engulfed our youths in particular has
dangerous religious and sectional colours and needs to be urgently attended to
resolutely and with tact.”
Non-pretending Nigerians should know that that's the way to go.
