Former Military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida has come out to say that Nigeria needs to be retructured. He is the latest in the swelling line of people who believe Nigeria cannot continue on its current trajectory without consequences.
According to this Channels TV report, IBB said as follows:
“Restructuring has become a national appeal as we speak, whose time has come. I will strongly advocate for devolution of powers to the extent that more responsibilities be given to the states while the federal government is vested with the responsibility to oversee our foreign policy, defense, and economy.

But will the man who scuttled the most democratic elections Nigeria has ever had be taken seriously? Or would he be seen as someone who’s got something up his sleeves? The reactions are telling.

Ojoro
You’ve no leg to stand on
Right on, sir
CONFAB! CONFAB!
Bull’s eye
I fear that this statement will earn IBB the label of traitor and sell-out from his Arewa brethren who dread restructuring.

Leave us be
IBB should let us wobble out of the political doldrums he dropped the entire Nigeria into in 1992/93. Stop abusing our emotion.
