• Houses to get bills soon, lawmakers seek legal backing for resolutionsSouthern governors’ resolutions at their meeting on Tuesday generated more nationwide reactions on Wednesday.

Yawe stated, “On restructuring, the ACF believes that before we take a decision on this, we should agree on whether Nigeria should remain one country before deciding on what“Our position on this is informed by the fact that some of the advocates of restructuring are at the same time advocating the dissolution of Nigeria. Are they believers in Nigeria at all? We must all agree to let Nigeria be, before we move forward.

“He said he and his organisation had decided that the only way forward ,and that in the interest of MACABAN, was to embark on ranching and that they were waiting for government’s policy. Justifying the ban on open grazing, they said the Federal Government should provide “alternative and modern livestock management that does not constitute a security and economic challenge to the nation.”

It was jointly signed by the SSF Chairman, Opeyemi Bamidele ; Secretary General, Mathew Urhoghide and Publicity Secretary, Chukwuka Utazi .The senators commended the governors for being emphatic on the issues of restructuring, state policing and the jettisoning of archaic traditional grazing methods, “which fall short of global best practice standard and a potential threat to our national cohesion and peace.

“We salute the governors for ruminating on the expediency and the need for speedy restructuring of the highly lopsided Nigerian nation, saying this will also help to remove the venom that has permeated the land on account of alleged neglect of certain sections of the country. Ndume also advocated the suspension of salary payment to workers and other political office holders so that the money could be used to tackle the security challenges in the country.

The governor, who spoke through the State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stated this on Wednesday in an interview with The PUNCH in Asaba. “We felt that this open grazing must stop. It is causing a lot of problems particularly between the herders and the farmers. Whether we like it or not, times have changed and this must change. We must adopt a modern system of animal husbandry.The governor said the Federal Government needed to throw its weight behind state governments that wanted to set up ranches, adding that this would benefit the herders who were exposed to dangers as they roamed with their cattle.

You can not do restructuring where there's no structure in Nigeria,referendum is the solution the north have destroy system of restructuring.

The North can not in anyway holds us backward. Enough is enough, we must move forward!

Why won't ACF faults restructuring? The present lopsided arrangement called federalism pays them better. Is it not the IGR of the south that is being used to develop the north? If you can fend for your house, why should leave your roof to fend for themselves bother you?

ACF ' Assoction of Common Fool'

Stop all attacks on police & their properties in your region.

Parasites The war ACF is looking for had already started by BH & others in the north.

Restructuring to divide Nigeria? What is wrong with that? Why cant these guys think out of the box? We have more than enough to sustain ourselves. Oil is gradualling phasing out like coal. The south will still depend on us for food. Let us understand our strengths for once.

Follow and I follow back Previous account suspended

Parasitic Relationship 👎 Mutualistic Relationship 👍 That is the way to go

The bitter truth is that Nigeria is at crossroad at this point, so anything other than Restructuring is a total separation. They can't escape it at this point because the people have been deceived for too long.

The south just looks blessed, seeing our leaders in harmony I see how vibrant the governors are looking, it tells how the south looks as well. God bless the SOUTH, God bless Nigeria.

Who be ACF?

I stand with southern governor's

Open grazing remains banned in the southern Nigeria. Those who want Nigeria to be like Afghanistan shift one side and those who want Nigeria to be like the UAE shift one side. I proudly stand with the side that wants Nigeria to be like the UAE. Pick a stand now

ACF should wake up and smell the coffee. The call isn't theirs to make.

Can somebody tell these old hugs that nigeria is already divided..?...

So arewa still don't want restructuring bcuz the current structure was skewed in their unmerited favour. For me, not wanting this country restructured is the same as wanting this country disintegrated.

The South never knew the power they had until now that divide and rule failed to work for the Fulanis... The North can join Niger Republic to form a formidable Islamic nation they've always wanted.

Why re northerners busy analyzing d southern governors meeting since yesterday?All the time N/Governors had their meetings in d past nobody frm d south shwd concern.Something is wrong n they re right that most of us want the dissolution to the British company called “nigeria”.

Dessolution is what we want, say no to restructuring. endnigerianow
