You would notice some discomfort by certain individuals and groups from the northern part of the country over the Federal Government’s plan to relocate the Headquarters of the Federal Airports Authority (FAAN) and some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to Lagos.
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) have been championing the agitation against the move. Next are the senators from the zone.
In a bid to sound patriotic, the groups lace their arguments with sentiments of saving cost and preventing service disruption.
But ACF is more emphatic in alleging that the planned relocation is an agenda to further under develop the north.
The senators on their part, have rather injected blackmail, with subtle threats of dealing with President Bola Tinubu in 2027, when he comes for re-election, if he carries on with the policies.
