Those Agitating For Secession, Restructuring Are Asking For Impossible – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked those who are agitating for restructuring and secession in the country to forget it because they are asking for the impossible.
He tagged such people as being both naïve and “mischievously dangerous.”
In a message to the launching of the Kudirat Abiola Sabon Gari Peace Foundation in Zaria, Kaduna State yesterday, June 19, the President made it clear that his government had no time for any obscure conference, which has to do with the callbfor a constitutional conference.
“You are telling us to dissolve a system and call for an obscure conference to come and discuss how we can move forward as a nation. That can never be done and no country will agree to that,” Buhari said
The President, who was represented as at the event by the Executive Secretary, Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Alhaji Mohammed Bello Shehu, said those calling for the balkanization of Nigeria are only doing so to destabilise his government.
“There is no government in the world that will cede their authority to the people that are not elected.”
He wondered what the advocates of restructuring wanted precisely, saying: “Those who are discussing restructuring, my question is what are you going to restructure?
“If you ask many Nigerians what are they going to restructure, you will find out that they have nothing to talk about.
“Some of them have not even studied the 1999 Constitution. The 1999 Constitution is almost 70 to 80 per cent 1979 Constitution.
“It is okay to demand for restructuring, renewal of constitution, but what is most important now is how can Nigeria states make local governments functional? How can Nigerian states make the judiciary independent?
“Rather, we ask Nigerians to put focus on putting pressure on National Assembly members to make sure that the local government autonomy as enshrined in our constitution is respected and implemented.
“So, if that were to be done, some of the issues like insecurity, you will find a situation where local government chairmen, in collaboration with traditional rulers, will form a chain of communication to figure out what is really happening.
“So, those who are doing that (agitating) should go back and meet their representatives in the House of Assembly and ask for whatever amendment of constitution. Due process should be followed.
“The other issue is that those who are calling for restructuring and conference or what they call ethnic nationality, if you go to Southern Kaduna, Taraba, who is to represent them? We have different combination of ethnicities in many states.
“Even Kano and Kaduna, Igbos have properties. The same goes with Yorubas. There are “Fulani in Port Harcourt. So those calling for whether separation or restructuring, some of them I will say are very naive or even mischievously dangerous.
“Those agitating for secession are ignorant of war and its consequences, because Nigeria is a dominant force in West Africa.
“My appeal to each and everyone here is to try and educate their children. We are better as a nation. There is no way we can be separated.
“And I said also that majority of those calling for restructuring are people that are so afraid to go into partisan politics. And even if they were to go into partisan politics, they will not win.”
The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun has announced the coming to Nigeria soon, what he called “5GIST Nigeria-China ‘Growth, Development Progress (GDP) strategy to take the bilateral relations between the two countries to higher levels.
Ancient Sultan’s Predictions About Likely Collapse Of His Caliphate
The metaphorical accuracy and symbiotic perspective of this historic presentation by Abbas Ibn Mohammed goes beyond a merely coincidental or ordinary fictitious storyline, from an ancient allegorical folktale, dramatising a voyeuristic interpretation of an imaginary plot, or, perhaps, could it be part of nature’s profoundly visionary and telepathically secret signs of coded language about the ominous future of the decaying Sokoto caliphate, under a decadent siege syndrome of an externally brainwashed and spiritually conscienceless generation of compromised heir?
Well, whatever may be the thematic thrusts, motives and contemprenous motivations of the many reasons of the unpalatable tragedies seemingly popping up their ugly heads, in a serially bizarre but rapidly suicidal succession in the contemporary domains of the Danfodian ancient Sokoto Caliphate at the moment, Abbas Ibn Mohmmed’s Graphic Analysis of Sheikh Usman Danfodio’s Past Dream Of a collapsing Caliphate, under a fictionally demobilized moral characterized tagged: “The 18th Sultan” is beyond simplistic, or ordinary accidental coincidences!
I believe that all serious and concerned Members of the Muslim Ummah within and outside Nigeria Will applaud Abbas Mohammed, for his timely response to the deadly virus that seems to be the undetected but ultimately organic killer disease that might be the cause of Islamic Disunity in Nigeria,which had been overshadowed by apparent indifference of hitherto , unperturbed engagements by virtually all Muslim Stakeholders!
I think, instead of indulging in ostrich-nagging debates and rancorous harangues about the visible threats of Sheik Usman Danfodio’s Ancient Promination which beastial reality is exposed by the incidental Political Solidarity between the Mala- Buni’s Northern Pro OBJ El-Rufai Cliques, Against the South-West Muslims, who have been discriminated and subdued by their own so called Yoruba elites,on the basis of religious beliefs, despite the undeniable facts and substative merits of the established historical testimony, that, without Muslim Support, “The Awoism which most of the Self-Serving and power mongering bigots from the South-west adlib to gain recognition and access to national political state, would have been in vain without Yoruba Muslim politicians, serving as (his, Pa Awolowo’s) indispensable pillars of unbendable support!
However, in conclusion, all I can say for now, to the Northern traitors and pro El-Rufai APC sponsored mobsters, is to refer them to the eloquent testimonies of Sheikh Usman Danfodio’s voyeoristic incitement.
