heheheehe.....Nasir El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, has labeled most of the politicians calling for restructuring as “opportunists”.
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and ex-Military Head of State, General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida (rtd.), had all called for Nigeria to be restructured.
According to him, “For many people, when you talk about restructuring, it is political opportunism. Most of what you see in the media, most of the people that talk about restructuring or give long lectures about restructuring are unable to give you any concrete ideas about what it really means.
“As I said, a lot of the talk on restructuring is political opportunism and irresponsibility in my opinion. It is popular and people that have presidential aspiration think it is a platform on which they can exploit this.”
“We (APC) believe it was just a jamboree, we did not participate, our position has not changed. We are not going to look at it 2014 confab report because we do not think it even reflects the diversity of the views in Nigeria
“We took a position as a party even then, not to participate but encourage our state governors at the level of the state government to be there at the table. Our position has not changed no matter what the senate thinks, the position of the party in that has not changed.
“We will need the help of the national assembly, the first step is to look at exclusive lists, second step to move on to deciding concrete steps, the third to look at the allocation of responsibilities and the fourth step requires legislation and constitutional amendments. So we will do that and it is not unilateral.
“This is where many of our politicians get it wrong, they think you can be irresponsible today and correct it tomorrow once you get headlines.”
