The President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has been cautioned against using force to resolve the various agitations in some parts of the country.
The Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe who issued the advice added that the President should initiate a process of addressing those grievances in a well coordinated manner.
Okupe expressed this view in an open letter addressed to President Buhari in Abuja on Sunday, August 27.
The former Presidential aide said history had shown that when agitations were real and genuine, they would eventually be resolved; either positively or negatively.

He described the agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra, restructuring and resource control as products of genuine fears corroborated by clinically-evident actions and inactions of government that needed to be addressed.
While noting that the recent broadcast of the President upon his return from medical vacation did not help to calm frayed nerves and provide hope or the country, Okupe said if Buhari must leave an ending legacy for himself and his administration, he should increase and widen the scope of consultations nationally and be prepared to adopt and employ new approaches in this rapidly changing world.
