Oyegun to Atiku: Restructuring Nigeria ‘not the wisest thing at this point’

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has said the party is not focused on restructuring the country at the moment.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar had on Tuesday, called for the restructuring of the country to ensure the development and growth of the federating units.

“Agitations by many right-thinking Nigerians call for a restructuring and a renewal of our federation to make it less centralised, less suffocating and less dictatorial in the affairs of our country’s constituent units and localities,” Atiku had said.

Oyegun however, noted on Saturday, that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is presently preoccupied with rebuilding the economy, creating jobs and ensuring the security of lives and property.

“To bring this additional issue (restructuring) – is not the wisest thing for a nation that is struggling to stabilise to go into an unnecessary diversion at this point.”

“Nothing is wrong with the idea but at this time, it is best for us to concentrate on our priorities. As a party, our priority right now is to rebuild the economy, create jobs and deal with the security problems at hand.”

“And with what is happening in the Niger Delta you can see that there is so much to do. We must get our priority right some day we will come to that.”
