‘North ready to debate Nigeria’s existence, restructuring’ – Ango Abdullahi

The Spokesman of Arewa Consultative
Forum, Prof. Ango Abdullahi has expressed
the North’s readiness to debate whether
Nigeria should remain as a country or not.
Abdullahi added that some Nigerians believe
the regions making up the country were
mistakenly put together by the British
colonialists.
The ACF chieftain told ThisDay Newspaper:
“The issue of restructuring, of course, is a
subject that we’re ready to discuss with
anyone. The issue of the country and its
existence is also an issue that we’re
prepared to discuss with anyone who
questions the very basic need for having the
country as it is now; because there are some
people who are arguing along those lines
that Nigeria, ab initio, had been mistakenly
put together by the British. Although some
clergymen say it is God; it’s not God. It is
the creation of the colonial masters.”
The ACF chieftain also claimed that many
members of Boko Haram terrorists were
graduates and PhD holders, arguing that the
primary cause of the group’s emergence was
not its hatred of Western education.
“The Boko Haram phenomenon has nothing
to do with Western education. It has never
been the basis of its coming into existence.
Many of the members of Boko Haram are
graduates; many active members of Boko
Haram are graduates. Also, I can tell you
that some of them are PhD holders. So, it
has got nothing to do with Western
education,” the elder statesman said
Abdullahi stated further that the collapse of
the country’s socio-economic structures,
rather than aversion for Western education,
was what inspired the insurgency, pointing
out that a number of the terrorist group’s
leaders were from Kogi State.

He said: “It has more to do with the manner
in which the socio-economic structures of
the country are being managed. The areas
where there is easy recruitment of Boko
Haram members are the poorest areas of
this country –North-east. But it might
interest you to know that quite a number of
the active leadership of Boko Haram is from
Kogi State. It has nothing to do with
Western education; in fact, many of the
Boko Haram members are more educated
than those who claim to have had Western
education. “The crisis of Boko Haram –
either the current type or the future type of
Boko Haram –that this country will end up
having must be related to our willingness to
manage this country so that we avoid all
those ingredients that cause disaffection,
anger, and distrust.”
In addition, he also condemned how
Nigeria’s political office holders often
displayd their wealth in the midst of abject
poverty, warning that a “new” Boko Haram
will emerge if the nation’s resources was
continued to be mismanaged by the leaders.
“Seeing people affluently mismanaging our
resources to the detriment of the majority
that are wallowing in abject poverty; this is
what will breed either new Boko Haram or a
new version (of extremists) in the future
unless something is done about it.
“The level of unemployment of graduates in
this country is frightening and this is a
recruiting ground for the banditry we’re
witnessing in our society today,” he said.
