The Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, in this interview with select journalists, speaks on the state of the nation, among other issues. OLUFEMI OLANIYI was therehas been clamour for restructuring, state police and a ban on open grazing.
So, what aspect of the restructuring do we need to discuss? That is why we asked for a national dialogue so that we can sit down and look at the issues and agree together as a people of the same nation on what and what will be needed and I think it’s very important. Restructuring has to be discussed. More voices are talking about the need for a national dialogue.
Thank God the President was misrepresented because I have seen news headlines that the President is not opposed to the ban on open grazing. We need to begin to look into what is best for us. Where we were 50 years ago should not be where we are today and tomorrow. Is it possible to actually stop open grazing in one day? It may not be, but the process has to start and there must be a programme that must become evident. A programme in which we will begin to see actions being taken.
Well, in the first instance, the security challenge is a national issue. So, there’s no part of the nation that is free from it. We are only being relative in our own assessment that Delta State appears peaceful. There’s no doubt that we have more challenges in the South-East, and, of course, in the North. We did the best that we can but because it’s a national issue, it’s a big problem. The security situation is very versatile.
efeCamilus Thanks for maintaining your stand on this matter of restructuring. Every Deltan stand with you & behind you. We can’t be the bread winner for Nigeria & tolerate the hunger, deprivation, pollution, underdevelopment & unemployment affecting our lands & people, esp. the youths.
Okowa we need referendum
Says a governor that haven't tweeted since TwitterBan.
What we need is referendum not restructuring
This is the only man that have been doing the right thing in the. May almighty God be for you
With the present situation in the country,self determination is the ultimate ,let each regions in the country decide which way, oduduwa , Biafra,arewa all decides ,if any one wants to part so be it and if still want onenes then restructuring takes in and all should
How many National dialogues have we had pls and how do you plan to dialogue with an unrepentant tribalistic, nepotistic and bigoted fulani herdsman? Just asking for a friend.
Restructuring should be secondary. The fundamental conversation that needs to be urgently had is that of self-determination. Nigerians should be given a chance to decide whether they want in or out. Any other thing before that is post-poning the evil day.
God bless you mr governor
Keep saying d truth
Enough talk. buhariMustGo
My Governor; the people's mouthpiece!
Okowa do you think the Fulani’s that need your money to bridge from Lagos to Niger we agree to restructure with you. Since 1960 you have fund their useless lifestyle the only way out is division of Nigeria 🇳🇬 let’s us face reality.
It's clear the cabal is losing this arguement from every side. Restructuring is now a must, or acrimonious divorce will dealt irrecoverable blow to the North.
No! We need Referendum for Biafrans and Self-determination for Oduduwa Nation. BiafraNationNow OduduwaNationNow KeepitOn
