Bode George , a former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party , in this interview with, speaks on the myriads of challenges confronting Nigeria and why the implementation of the 2014 national conference report will bring a lasting solution . He said President Bola Tinubu’s name will be written in gold if he implements the report.
People are just misinterpreting restructuring. Yes, people will have various ideas, comments and all that, but there must be a meeting point and there must be compromises. The national conference document is the compromise version. Agitations from all nooks and crannies of this country are saying what they want. In the end, everybody may not get all the things they want but they won’t go home empty-handed.
The second is the issue about the 1999 constitution which we are using to direct the affairs of this country. We must be deceiving ourselves if we think this present constitution will take us to the promise land. Also, anyone who believes an amendment will make the constitution work is just deceiving himself. We must revisit the constitution in order to effectively tackle the insecurity challenges.
We have many professors in the four corners of this country who are very knowledgeable about the economy. I expect the government to get them together in order to find a solution to this economic quagmire that we are in. There are people who have sat in positions of authority in this country and they are still alive. The president should consult them and seek advice. There is the council of state where we have former heads of state and governors.
