Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, should lead the call for restructuring of Nigeria in order to save the country.
”People in power today and their handlers know all too well that no amount of constitutional amendment would save Nigeria now, they, therefore should urgently quit exploiting our ethnic and religious divisions in order to sustain their false narrative that Nigeria can survive without fundamental restructuring of the polity into true federalism and regional autonomy, anchored on power devolution, delivered through a brand new people’s constitution affirmed by a referendum,” he said.
“What is really worrisome,” he said, “is the continuous unhelpful hypocrisy by the central government, that a piecemeal amendment of the untidy 1999 unitary constitution would return sanity to the land. Nothing could be further from the truth. What may be true is the unpalatable fact that people in power today are willing to allow the bloodbath to thrive, just so they could hang onto power, deciding the fate of 200 million Nigerians.
