The Save Enugu Youth Initiatives has commended the recent resolutions by the Southern Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum (SNGF), at Asaba in Delta State, where the governors recommended restructuring, state policing and the jettisoning of open grazing as panacea for the lingering insecurity across the federation.
\nThe youth body described as factual those problems identified by the governors, while urging the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, muster courage and embrace the timely calls by the southern leaders to save the nation from sliding into a ditch.
\nSpeaking to newsmen in Nsukka, yesterday, the Convener of the group, Gwiyi Solomon, who was flanked by the state Coordinator of the group, Chibueze Nwoga, commended governors from the South for demonstrating genuine leadership and exemplary representation, especially as it concerns burning national issues, including banning open grazing of cattle, call for restructuring and call for national dialogue.
\nGwiyi said that such boldness unanimously taken by the governors of the South should not be dashed a way with the wave of the hand by the Federal Government as their resolutions are both timely and necessary.
\n\u201cWhat the southern governors resolved at Asaba in Delta State on Tuesday is the only way out of the debacle in which we found ourselves in the current Nigerian nation.
\n\u201cTheir resolutions are far-reaching and shouldn\u2019t be swept under the carpet by the Federal Government, if, indeed, they love and have Nigeria at heart.
\n\u201cA resolution to ban open grazing is the way to go; a resolution calling for restructuring and national conference are both timely and necessary now\u201d, Gwiyi concluded.
\nThe Southern Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum (SGF) had at its meeting held in Asaba, Delta State capital, last Tuesday, unanimously passed a verdict prohibiting open grazing in the region to curb herders-farmers clashes and senseless kidnapping as well as killings of Nigerian citizens of southern extraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
