Reasons Why North Must Accept Restructuring – Justice Nasir

The Chairman of Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation’s Advisory Council, Justice Mamman Nasir, has said that the North must not disregard the calls for restructuring as doing so will be dangerous for the nation.

Nasir expressed concern about the increased spread of hate speeches, especially among the youths on different social media platforms.
“Justice Nasir made these statements on Monday when he led other members of the foundation on a courtesy visit to the Governor of Narasawa State, Tanko Al-Makura, in Lafia.

He said; “Nigeria is currently at a stage we may call crossroads, particularly, the challenge is for the North to find the appropriate, well-guided response to the myriad of issues surrounding the nation.

Most importantly, we cannot dismiss the calls for the restructuring for whatever that stands for, and the desires and threats of some groups to dismember the country as mere developmental challenges.

The irritating reappearances of the Boko Haram, even with the dogged commitment of the Nigerian Army to end the insurgency for good, are also of concern, similarly the pervading hate speech through the social media that has engulfed our youths, in particular, has dangerous religious and sectional colours and needs to be urgently attended to resolutely and with tact.”
