Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof Kingsley Moghalu, has said that the root causes of secessionist agitations will have to be addressed to achieve genuine peace in Nigeria.
Moghalu said, “The notion that Nigeria’s “unity” is “non-negotiable” is civil war mentality. It shows an unwillingness to address the root causes of secessionist agitations. Leadership calls for something better: respect and engagement of citizens who are disenchanted with injustice”.
“Marginalization of ethnic nationalities, rank nepotism and parochialism instead of recognizing and respecting Nigeria’s diversity is not “unity”. It is domination. We should be united and unified, but on the basis of justice and equity. And we can. But it takes an ability to manufacture consensus.”
“We should start from the root causes and not just focus on the symptoms. That is the path to peace, stability and unity. This, however is not to excuse or support violence by non-state actors, or extrajudicial killings by state security services. Two wrongs do not make a right.”
