NIGERIANS YEARNING FOR RESTRUCTURING BECAUSE COUNTRY FOUNDATION IS SHAKY, SAYS FARONBI
The former Ambassador noted that Nigerians are always pleased with their past histories and they want things to be done in the way of the past, pointing out that, ‘a country that looks backward for its greatness, is not an ideal country.
Hear him,’ if you are in a country and each time you remember the past you’re always pleased and even okay with the memories, then that means a lot of people are suffering, and that means the country is in a financial mess’.
“Our people are yearning for restructuring just because our foundation is shaking, restructuring reminds us of the good works of our great leaders, such as Azikwe, Awolowo, they did their best for the people of their regions, offered us good, free and qualitative education, amongst other basic amenities”.
“The era that Azikwe and Awolowo developed their zones was at the level of competition and this actually helped our society a lots, in terms of structural development and even manpower development. The then structure of governance gives room for development and a better society was the result we got then”
“What we have now is over burden system that is not competitive, and it is affecting the entire masses a lot, if we want to do restructuring, let us do the one that will be a reasonable one, because some were saying we should create more states, but there are some states that cannot pay their workers’ salaries as at when due”, Farounbi stressed.
Penpushing further reports that, the guest lecturer, while speaking on Christians and politics, posited that the Christians should make themselves free to join any political parties of their choice, declaring, ‘Christians should choose any political parties of their choice, and they should be part of the process but shun any ungodly acts or behavior that most politicians were known for.”
He emphasized, “It’s only if you join politics that you will be able to select a good leader and that good and God fearing leader will surely rules with the fear of God”
