Our Position On Restructuring - Northern Elders Forum

The northern Elders forum has presented a statement on their position on the restructuring. They made this public during a news conference in Abuja on Thursday September, 21st .


The President of the forum, Dr. Paul Unongo, stated:

“We wish to reiterate our consistent position that there are no issues of disagreement and demands by individuals and groups in the country or anywhere in the world that dialogue cannot resolve.

“NEF acknowledges that we the citizens of Nigeria are capable of resolving our issues internally. “The North recognizes and acknowledges that there are demanding and legitimate questions on the current operations of the Nigerian state.

“The North has very clear ideas on all issues and positions that the nation sees as challenges, and is willing to dialogue on all of them.

“What the North will not allow, however, is to be stampeded into adopting an agenda and grand designs from other parts of Nigeria, which will hurt its basic interests.

 “The North will demand a respectful and responsible approach to its participation in the search for answers to the many questions confronting our country.’’
