Former aide to ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe has
called for a meeting between leaders in the South and members of the
Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, on the lingering issue of restructuring
of the nation.
Recall that some prominent politicians from the North including
former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida have joined their voices in
the call to change the system of governance in the country.
Doyin stated that the conditions given by the ACF for restructuring
is not a workable one hence, unacceptable, calling for a round-table
meeting where the North and South will seat and deliberate on the issue.
Addressing the ACF in a post he shared on Facebook, Doyin said, “Your
terms and conditions [for restructuring] in my own personal opinion are
not unacceptable, and with the spirit of brotherhood I do believe we
have a platform on which we can all put hands together for peaceful
resolution and wholesomely acceptable and workable procedural process to
attain the above stated objective.
“It is my considered opinion that the very sensitive nature of this
subject matter makes it difficult for our governments to be in the fore
front of finding an acceptable solution without being accused of bias or
prejudice.
“I wish therefore to suggest that a team of patriots from the South
meets with members of your organisation in Abuja shortly to examine the
full details of this subject once again, consider our various views and
possibly agree on suggestions we can pass to the executive and
legislative arms of our democratically elected government.
“I humbly submit that you agree that I broker this all important
meeting, which should not be later than the first week of July 2017.”
