Restructuring should not serve as basis for threatening Nigeria's unity - Elders Council - Daily Post Nigeria

There have been calls from different quarters over the need to restructure the country with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor EA Adeboye lately joining the list.

Speaking on the ongoing debate over the state of the nation, the Patriotic Elders Council noted that though restructuring in itself is not a bad thing as every institution or corporate body, but bringing such an issue up at a time the nation is being re-engineered for the better is counter-productive.

“While other nations with less component complexities and challenges have not been able to withstand the pressures that come with such experiences and have since balked under the challenges that come with keeping people of diverse backgrounds under one entity and broken up, Nigeria, despite all odds, has pulled through and has remained one united country.

“Unfortunately, some respected Nigerians like the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, have joined in the call for restructuring of the country. “Though restructuring in itself is not a bad thing as every institution or corporate body tries to take stock of its features from time to time to see where there’s the need for adjustment, but bringing such an issue up at a time the nation is being re-engineered for the better is counter-productive.

What exactly is the argument against restructuring? Till date we have yet to be told anything concrete save for destabilizing a unity that hasn’t worked since 1914. It is only the FGN and its beneficiaries that are United

What's not there cannot be counted....we were never truly unified.

Who are the elders saying that? Zamfara is selling their own gold to central bank but Niger Delta can not control their own oil. That is the indifferences attitude that led us to this place.

Which unity and who are these Elders?, What makes you think that Nigeria is united?

Unity by force is slavery
