Nigerian Professionals Commend Atiku Abubakar over Stand on Restructuring.


 A sociopolitical pressure group of professionals in Nigeria, The Nigerian Professionals for Progress (NPfP),  has commended former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, over what the group termed his "very principled, patriotic and nationalist stand on the issue of restructuring the Nigerian federation and enthroning fiscal federalism in the country". 
The group in a letter, signed by its National Secretary, Karl Chinedu Uchegbu, said, " we are honoured to write this letter of commendation, to you in recognition of your very principled, patriotic and nationalist stand on the issue of restructuring the Nigerian federation and enthroning fiscal federalism".

The Nigerian Professionals disclosed that by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's open endorsement and strident advocacy for restructuring of the country, he has brought the issue to the front burner of political discuss thereby offering hope to a country that has been living in denial.

Continuing the group noted, "Your Excellency, We are highly elated by your open endorsement of restructuring the country, because it is no longer a secret that it is no longer feasible to sustain the unworkable and unbalanced federal structure in the country. We are living at a time of severe economic and social challenges, which has to no end exposed the current deformed and unsustainable federal structure. We must not fail to state here that while calling for restructuring of the country, your Excellency has brought out in bold relief the fact that the structure of government finances is not sustainable and that we need to re-negotiate the federal structure to make us stronger and more united".

The group said that, all tiers of government must become autonomous and cease it’s over dependence on oil revenue, in line with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar' views that more powers and resources must be devolved to the states, thus giving the states wider latitude to take on more responsibility.
The professionals thanked the former vice president for "leading the crusade for national rebirth and a new Nigeria. A Nigeria that offers hope, opportunity and prosperity for its teeming and hardworking citizens".

"Today Nigerians across the globe are blazing the trail in different fields of human endeavour; science, sports, politics, religion, arts, etc. The Nigerian genius and enormous potential can be unlocked in a truly restructured nation. An energetic and brilliant generation of young Nigerians, roaring to take their place among the world’s best, have been given hope and a boost by the unstoppable march towards the restructuring of the country", the group concluded.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
