Raging Secessionist agitation: Eminent Nigerians moves for reconciliation and National healing
The National Political Summit Group and the National Consultative Front, on Thursday, held what it called a national summit of eminent elders and leaders of thought in Nigeria, where it was agreed that the country needed reconciliation.
The confab said after hours of frank and dispassionate deliberations and stock-taking, it decided to assert the state of Nigeria and what to do to resolve the “heightening political crisis and insecurity in the country.”
In a communiqué issued by Mr Nastura Shariff (North) and Ezekiel Etok (South) for the summit secretariat, the eminent Nigerians initiated national reconciliation and healing for the country, while setting up a commission to engage stakeholders for a “brand new people’s constitution for Nigeria.”
According to the communiqué, the summit resolved to set up a 40-member National Reconciliation, Healing and Political Reform Commission to “fashion a new political system and structure for Nigeria to douse political tension and calls for secession in the country.”
The confab also resolved to reconvene in January 2021 at a wider physical national confab of leaders of thought to include leaders of government and resourceful young leaders in carrying every stakeholder along in resolving Nigeria’s political and constitutional acrimony.
According to the participants, agitation for secession or break up of the country is as a result of the frustration and hardship experienced by various stakeholders in the way Nigeria is structured and being currently run by the political class.
The communiqué listed the eminent Nigerians, who reached the consensus as including, Ahmed Joda, Uma Eleazu, Ayo Adebanjo, Ghali Na’Abba, Ubaluzuike Amaechi, Tanko Yakassai, Hakeem Baba Ahmed, Kalu Idika Kalu; Uche Azikiwe, Inna Ciroma, Josephine Anenih, Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosumu, Nat Okoro, and Florence Ita-Giwa.
Others are Zainab Maina, Kema Chikwe, Victor Atah, Obadiah Mailafia, Pat Utomi, Zainab Kuchi, Falalu Bello, Timi Agary, Mike Ajeigbo, Gabriel Aduku, Kunle Olajide and 70 others.
