to and immediately after October 1, 2020, which was the 60th Independence anniversary of Nigeria, agitation for restructuring of the country’s political and economic structure gained more impetus. Well known leaders and state governors, who were not associated with this agitation over the years, openly demanded for it, warning that there is no alternative left for the country.
Adeboye said “Why can’t we have a system of government that is 100 per cent Nigerian, unique to us? For example, we started on with the British system of government; somewhere along the line, we moved over to the American system of government.“Can’t we have a combination of both and see whether it could help us solve our problems? In Mathematics, if you want to solve a problem, you try what we call real analysis.
“If we have a President and a Prime Minister and we share responsibilities between these two, so that one is not an appendage to the other. “Without any doubt, we must restructure and do it as soon as possible. A United States of Nigeria is more likely to survive than our present structure.”Like Adeboye and other leaders that recently lent their voices to the debate on the national question, state governors have during the week also lamented openly that the present Nigerian structure is not working. They also warned that further delay will ‘consume’ Nigeria.
“We don’t have the resources; we need to devise sustainable means of addressing these issues. As chairman of the NGF, this has been on the front burner of our work. We hope Nigerians will be able to push the argument further to a point where the resources and the powers that reside in Abuja can be devolved effectively to the states, with the revenue also devolved to take the responsibilities at that level,” he said.
“If we need the country, let’s sit down and decide that we need the country first. Then we can now sit down and decide on how our country can work for all of us. If we decide that we don’t want the country as it is, then, I mean, countries have gone apart, Czechoslovakia and quite several other countries, including Sudan, have gone apart. We don’t want to go to war.
Shehu said: “This is to warn that such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted as this government will not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time when the nation’s full attention is needed to deal with the security challenges facing it at a time of the COVID-19 health crisis.
