‘El-Rufai’s c’ttee report on true federalism will end inter-ethnic crises’

Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Alhaji Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government to implement the Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s Committee report on true federalism.

The el-Rufai committee was set up in August 2017 to formulate the position of the APC on true federalism which clamour gained currency over the years. The committee initially had 10 members but was later expanded to 23 members.

Lukman in a statement on Monday, titled ‘Ethnic and Religious Hatred and the Deceitful Campaigns in Nigeria’, argued that the implementation of the report would reposition Nigeria and end the current inter-ethnic crisis between the Yoruba and Fulani herders in the South West and ethnic clashes in other parts of the country.
