The battle to renew the Nigerian union based on equity, justice and fairness has undoubtedly gained some significant traction. It is perhaps only the standpatters that are recalcitrant to this quest because of short-term gains from a badly skewed state structure. The path of wisdom is to negotiate and do the right thing for the interest of present and unborn generations in line with changing global dynamics so that our country becomes truly a place where peace and justice shall reign. This is the inclination of the Southern governors who within a space of two months gathered twice to underscore basic demands germane to the oneness and peace of the country. They first met in Asaba, capital of Delta State for what has later tagged, the ‘‘Asaba Declaration.’’ They met in Lagos two weeks ago and the consequences of their ‘‘Mission In Lagos’’ are still reverberating in political circles.
