The Directorate of the Concerned Patriots of Nigeria (DCPN) has of late been at the forefront of the advocacy for the restructuring
The Directorate of the Concerned Patriots of Nigeria has of late been at the forefront of the advocacy for the restructuring of the country. President of the group, Wale Olagunju, spoke with journalists on the issue, providing details of how they think some operational principles that hold the nation bound to perpetual decline in all facets of development should be re-adjusted.
But if we do regional restructuring, we had practiced the regional system of government during the time of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa but it crumbled. I am not faulting those who are advocating it; it is their own idea. But we are preaching an idea that will not cause any crisis. If we go regional today, there will be crises.
Many Nigerians see the implementation of the 2014 confab report as the pathway to restructuring the country. Don’t you think that is the way to go instead of starting a new process? Do you agree that in 2014, the consultation was wide before that confab was held just like your group is consulting now?
They just have to accept it. We practiced it during the time of regional government. All the states will be contributing something to the federal purse. If they mean well for Nigeria, they just have to accept that. As Ogun State has crude oil now, you just have to give them a chance to control their oil resources. After all, some northern parts of the country have gold and they are controlling it. You don’t expect me to go to Zamfara State now and control their resources.
