Lets nudge these Southern Senators!


So the southern caucus of Nigerian Senators were able to find their way to Calabar to discuss grave issues that are of vital concern to the southern part of the country called Nigeria. Of course, that big grammar means that they are likely going to talk about restructuring and resource control, issues that they strangely left in the hands of a Northern All Progressives Congress (APC) Governor in the name of El Rufai. Governor El Rufai couldn't care less about resource control and restructuring, he is too busy distracting Kaduna state citizens and indeed the whole nation with his education reforms which every governor seems to admire and may blindly copy.
Granted that we cannot afford semi literate teachers to handle our children anymore,but that is not the main issue in Kaduna today. El Rufai is yet to deal with Fulani killer herdsmen or Killer Fulani Herdsmen(do they mean the same?) till date. We do not know who attacked the various settlements in Southern Kaduna and it appears that these killings might be buried. There is something macabre playing out in cattle herdsmen who can ransack a village, kill people and go free.The other day when Arewa youths gave a quit notice to Igbo people living in the North, El Rufai vowed to have them arrested. Till date nothing has been done.
But back to the Sourthern Senators. Most of them have neither defined or understood how to present the case of restructuring and resource control in the Senate without angering their northern counter parts. Are the trappings of office so sweet that they cannot even focus on the future of the people that elected them? If they do not get it right this time when will they? These senators need a nudge so they can wake up from their eldorado slumber and start working for the people they represent. If the people want restructuring and resource control,they had better handle it pronto!
