North cautions Yoruba, Southerners on clamour for 1963 Constitution
Northern elders and youths have cautioned the Yoruba, their South East and South South neighbours over their clamour for the country’s restructuring, as well as return to the 1963 constitution.
The two groups, which vehemently opposed the recent resolution of the Yoruba at a summit tagged, “Restructuring: The Yoruba Agenda 2017,” alleged that sustained agitation for restructuring would, in the final analysis, not augur well for the growth and development of the nation.
Secretary General, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Anthony Sani, told The Guardian, yesterday that calls for restructuring by the coalition of Yoruba groups and those from South East and South South, as well as the return to 1960 and 1963 constitution were “puzzling.”

The North have no option than to pitch their tent with others for restructuring because people are tired of northern dominated politics

I hope they will realize this before it’s too late, Nigerians have woken up, we all know that the Northerners are the enemies of this country, if they cannot support restructuring, then they still have no positive intentions for Nigeria

I totally support the Arewa Youths because what Nigeria really need is secession which will happen very soon. The Biafrans are already taking the lead in secession, by the time we achieve this, other regions will float their countries too

Less importance should be given to the jobless youths calling themselves Arewa. They don’t matter and can in no way influence any decision in Nigeria.

This is the rubbished caused by Buhari’s government, giving importance to people who don’t deserve it is now making them feel like they really matter when in true sense they don’t
