Presidential aide, Sani, Shittu, others disagree over Nigeria’s unity

THE Presidency and some prominent citizens, on Saturday, differed on the issue of National Question, which most Nigerians said remained the root cause of national instability.

While a presidential aide and a top-notch executive of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) said the issue had been resolved a long time ago, other stakeholders said it constituted the plank of diverse ethnic agitations over the existing federal arrangement.

Chairman, Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, Okoi Obono-Obla; general secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Anthony Sani; constitutional lawyer cum lecturer, Wahab Shittu, and a former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, shared different views on the issue.

Contacted by Sunday Tribune on the matter, Obla said the avalanche of challenges facing the country was as a result of decades of bad governance and corruption among public officials.
