PARIS, APRIL 2, 2017: (DGW) A die-hard Awoist, Senator Femi Okuronmu has said unless there is fairness and justice in Nigeria there can be no one Nigeria adding that the southwest geopolitical zone has a matter of fact, always stood for justice.
He said justice and fairness are conspicously absent in the present Nigeria structure which gave rise for the agitation to restructure the country.
According to him, ”The South-west always stands for justice, equity and fairness for all Nigerians. If we are able to have a system that ensures justice and fairness, there will be one Nigeria. And that is why we are asking for restructuring.
While calling for true federalism to ensure each region develops at its own pace, he said that is what Nigeria actually stands in need of under the existing circumstances.
He said: We had regions in the First Republic and the regions were free to develop at their own pace. That is the kind of thing we should go back to. That is what is called federalism. Federalism means you allow each region to develop at its own pace.”
