Protests: ACF Seeks Far-reaching Reforms in Nigeria - THISDAYLIVE

The Arewa Consultative Forum , has asked the federal government to use the opportunity provided by the EndSARS protests to embark on sincere and far- reaching reforms in the country.the forum, urged the federal government to engage critical stakeholders to fine-tune the demands of the protesters and have defined timelines for implementations.

The forum noted that in view of the fact that the vast majority of young people cannot find jobs, “it is going to be difficult to achieve good governance or even maintain law and order in Nigeria.” The ACF also lamented that “the current Presidential system of government we are running is expensive; in view of our economic and infrastructural demands, the current system should be reviewed through referendum from the double chamber parliament to unicameral legislature among others.

The communique maintained that democracy comes with a number of human and peoples’ rights which cannot be abridged or abolished by governments”. “Public highways and commercial facilities are being blocked, precipitating a dangerous lockdown of the country.“On the contrary, the federal government has quickly and publicly agreed with the complaints of the protesters and has committed itself to carrying out far reaching reforms to address them.

“Reforms of these and other critical areas are long overdue. To that extent, the street protests by our sons and daughters demanding for the reforms, cannot be wrong.

Such reforms as? Are you not the same ACF that does not understand what restructuring and federation mean. Hypocrites!

The 2014 Confab was a reform the North and Buhari threw away. Let's go for another reform. At least it's now clear to Arewa that the status quo cannot hold anymore. BuhariResignNow is also necessary.

Una never see anything. When we were practically on our knees telling you people on the need for urgent restructuring of the Country, ACF said NO. Why are you people calling for 'far reaching reforms' now? Aren't you Oligarchs the born to rule and colonial masters of Nigeria?
