Atiku Abubakar on it again! Read what he says about Nigeria’s restructuring

Former vice president and one of the chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Atiku Abubakar has again addressed the issue of Nigeria’s restructure.

Atiku writes this on his Facebook page.

“We may not all agree on the need to restructure Nigeria, but I am glad that we are having this conversation now. It’s important for Nigeria’s economic prosperity,” he stated.

The politician reacted to the opinion piece of Olusegun Adeniyi, titled “Why Atiku Abubakar Deserves Attention.”

Adeniyi expresses his views: “While we can always argue that the major challenge of our country today is the absence of good governance at practically all levels, we must also acknowledge that we have a serious structural problem. As it is now evident, majority of the 36 states depend almost entirely on allocations from the Federation Accounts, the bulk of which they expend on payment of salaries and other recurrent expenditures. And with the fall in the price of oil and dwindling returns from that end, many of these governors are clueless about what to do, leading to severe consequences for the livelihood of many Nigerian families. That is why Atiku’s campaign should be taken more seriously.”

Some Nigerians reacted to Atiku’s post supposing that he may become a good candidate for the presidential post in 2019.

The former vice president was at the APC secretariat recently and held a closed door meeting with the national chairman, Chief John Odi­gie- Oyegun and other NWC members.

However, he denied reports that he was queried by the National Working Committee of the party over his recent call for the restructuring of the country.
