Restructuring is not about break up of Nigeria – Falana
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has stated that the call for the restructuring of the country should not be seen as a call for the breakup of Nigeria.
According to him, the issue of restructuring will only help in righting the wrongs in critical areas, instead of creating disunity in the country and allow for the equitable distribution of wealth between the federal and state governments.
Speaking at the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, where he delivered a lecture titled: ‘Restructuring and The Liberation of Nigeria’, as part of activities marking the institution’s 24th convocation ceremony.
He said;
“Restructuring, without equitable distribution of wealth, will not bring the needed change and development that will build the foundation of our economy and make it gain global reckoning and work for the citizens.
“But I am warning that power devolution to the states without democratising such powers is dangerous to our system,” Falana said.
We know let them, let them restructure first
I don’t understand what is this government is afraid of? Restructuring doesn’t mean break up of the country, even our security architectural need restructure.
Good…. Good…….
There’s a lot of things that needs to be done, some of them doesn’t know the meaning of restructuring that’s why they don’t want to talk about it.
Why can’t they make use of previous confab and implement the previous resolution.
Of course there’s a lot that we need right the wrong such as security, about the national assembly and so on. May Almighty God guide our leaders through.
The country should be restructured and made to work better
The current system has totally failed and no one is happy with the country any longer
Even if the call to restructure Nigeria will lead to the breakup of the country, let it breakup afterall must we be together
