OPINION: Nigeria Seats On A Tripod Stand

                                  

The new APC led Government of General MOHAMMED BUHARI (GCFR) will be sworn in officially on 29th may, 2015. They are expected to make conscious efforts to build Nigeria and pave way for her Growth and Development, both Politically and Economically by forming an all INCLUSIVE Government of National Unity. this they can achieve by giving equal Political opportunities to the three major regions of the Country or go down as the worst Government in the history of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Discerning minds will agree that
the shape of Nigeria coat of Arms bears Natural and Sovereign national testimony to the fact that Nigeria seats on a TRIPOD stand; namely, the NORTHERN NIGERIA, the WESTERN NIGERIA and the EASTERN NIGERIA. A cursory look at the map of Nigeria also shows how the two great Rivers namely River Niger and River Benue also demarcate the natural boundaries of the three (3) major Ethnic groups IGBO ,HAUSA and YORUBA who inhabit the three Geopolitical regions of Nigeria listed above namely the NORTH, the WEST and the EAST. For the purposes of easy reading comprehension on this page write up, the artificial and unconstitutional six (6) geopolitical zones are subsumed under the constitutional and natural three (3) regional structures or zones.
The voting pattern during the just concluded Presidential and general elections 2015 also bear very eloquent testimonies to this fact and ABIA POLITICAL VANGUARD has made appreciable efforts to explain the reasons why the EASTERN region voted massively for the ruling PDP/ GOODLUCK JONATHAN (GCFR) Government as a matter of LOYALTY AND FAITHFULNESS TO THE GOVERNMENT IN POWER, which will automatically be transferred to the incoming Government come may 29th this year or any Government in power as Governance is a continuum.
However, before any person comes up with upside down logic or unnecessary arguments by raising issues with states like KOGI, BENUE AND EDO states over the natural regional and Ethnic boundaries, ABIA POLITICAL VANGUARD wish to remind us that there is no perfect arrangement or situation and no machine is 100% efficient. It must be stated here that when IGBOS AND YORUBAS or SOUTHERNERS generally are travelling back home from the northern parts of Nigeria, it is always noticed that as soon as they get to LOKOJA they smile, stop over, and relax to eat, showing that they are almost home. This is very remarkable and instructive.
Elsewhere on this face book page we have tried to make it abundantly clear that without the IGBOS, Nigeria and Nigerians can never record any meaningful progress. We also went further to posit that in fact enemies of NDIGBO are the real enemies of the Nigerian state. Let someone refute this fact!
The point being made here is that the various permutations and nocturnal meetings going on over who gets WHAT and HOW, in this new APC Government of BUHARI must reflect FEDERAL CHARACTER and strike a balance between ETHNICITY AND FEDERALISM. This is to say that if the North as it were takes the first position, the West takes the second position; the third must naturally go to the East.
For those who do not know, this is why CHIEF CHIKWAS OKORIE of the UNITED PROGRESSIVES PARTY (UPP) and chieftain of OHANAZE has been visiting the President Elect to indirectly drum this very matter into his ears. OKORIE also visited the APC party secretariat recently to also give a similar message to the party in a subtle diplomatic manner.
In the same vein the two warring factions of OHANAEZE NDI IGBO have also visited the President elect GENERAL BUHARI to give the same message, in fact a more radical faction led by chief ELEMUNOH gave a brief conference after visiting the President elect where they threatened to go back to the trenches if the EASTERN region is left out or marginalized in the national political scheme in this incoming Government, noting that they may reinvent BIAFRA, this time with an antidote to ECONOMIC BLOCKADES and KWASIOKOR.
What more can we say?
Consultants to ABIA POLITICAL VANGUARD are cautiously optimistic as the storm is already gathering in the APC camp, after all CHANGE is usually accompanied by great HEAT but in the PDP it is already raining CATS and DOGS as the umbrella has turn into shreds.
Finally, any attempt to remove or allow the HEAT to melt any of the STANDS on the TRIPOD holding Nigeria, surely there will be EARTHQUAKE.
