EDITORIAL: Buhari, heed warnings of eminent voices on restructuring
WITH overwhelming signs that Nigeria is sinking, some hitherto silent Nigerians have added their eminent voices to the clamour for action. With the centrifugal forces threatening its fabric, clerics, politicians, traditional rulers, retired military officers, rights advocates and socio-political groups are speaking the truth to power in an unmistakable manner on the need to save the country from itself. It is a timely development.
This is exactly the problem. From insecurity to economic malaise, and wretched human development indices to woeful infrastructure, Nigeria, as presently constituted, awfully lacks the institutional capacity to solve any problem. Insecurity is a big concern, with the Boko Haram insurgents, Fulani herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers and militants soaking the country in blood.
Buhari and other refuseniks cannot and should not be allowed to hold back the aspirations of Nigeria’s 200 million people. A federation is self-explanatory; Nigeria has travelled that road before and those mischievously demanding the meaning of restructuring should be overwhelmed by the relentless peaceful pursuit of the principled goal. There is neither ambiguity nor novelty in the agitation.
