PERSONALLY, RESTRUCTURING ISN'T D SOLUTION TO NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS, D PROBLEMS R BAD LEADERSHIP N INJUSTICE. ONCE INJUSTICE IS REMOVED FROM D SYSTEM, PPLE WILL FEEL PROUD TO CALL DEMS NIGERIANS.

One of The first things on APC manifesto was to restructure Nigeria.
They better keep these stories to themselves.

According to him: “My own take is that every government has its own priority and you will agree with me that if you have to deal with the issue of Boko Haram or you need to deal with the issue of the economy that has gone intorecession and all that, you have to get your priorities right. I don’t think it wouldbe a wise move to add the challenges ofrestructuring if you have not dealt with the problems that affect the average Nigerian.

the same boko haram this govt gave life line to is used as excuse against restructuring?

Something is fundamentally wrong with the leaders of this country. Nigeria was a prosperous nation before and shortly after independence. The system of regional government brought out the best potentials of the various regions.

This unitary fo of government is not working because the political elite are reckless and greedy. We shouldn't be afraid to talk and fashion out a better system of governance. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gun powder but pretending like everything is ok

Restructuring is not our problem, Ghana operates a unitary Presidential Democracy and yet they are more successful than us.... Our problem in this country is bad leadership and greed.

With that statement, it means that this country can never be restructured.
How can they say that the problem of insecurity and recession is what they will solve first before talking of restructuring?
Even, there is no standing plan on how to solve those stated problems.
So oga, why lie even to yourself?
This country can never solve the problem of insecurity or recession unless a total different method is adopted.
Restructuring or this country will just remain a shadow of itself.

Which recession again? another one, because kemi said 9ja is out of recession.

...but how can bad leadership and injustice can be removed?when the cabals who benefit from the current structure are in charge of every sphere of govt?if the country is restructured in a such a way that nigerians would hold their ward councillors and lg chairmen accountable for things like education, healthcare, power, security while the fg sets the standards and state gov ensure they are followed do you think things would remain the same?

[/b]"The All progressives Congress (APC) has adduced the need to fix the nagging problems of insecurity and the recession as reasons for the delay in restructuring the country as outlined in the party’s manifesto."[b] Stupid shameless idiots-always having one silly excuse or the other to give for their ineptitude.Restructuring was a core part of the APC's manifesto or they have denied that promise too

as if the issues started today, they had no plans when they were making campaign promises like every other party.

But restructuring is not a nice to have fancy word

Restructuring is central to us being able to shape our economic future and secure long term jobs

The argument by Mobolaji exposes the shortsightedness of the APC

will this stop rented village yellowbar demons from licking their paid master's ass come 2019

lol... APC just told us to forget restructuring.. Cos am sure those listed issues are rocket science to them..

Pacotdc (Op) my "mannest man". So you don finally join Nairaland. Better wear your seat belt oo cos here is nothing but survival of the fittest. We skin, dry and decimate any afonja Muslim and their gambari jihadists that tries any rubbish with us. In other words, na we get here. We will soon change the name to Biafraland. Yea, you heard me right, just that we still wanna allow the temporary owner to flex his muscle small for the mean time. How biz nah? E don tey oo. Anyway, na your paddy and former "rommie" Baba Saha de yarn.

The APC loud piece doesn't seem to understand that the insecurity and unemployment problems facing the country occur EXACTLY because the county hasn't been restructured to be a competitive meritocratic environment.This entity called Nigeria is just a demarcated territory,it's not a country talk-less a nation.Heck, I dare say, we are an oil company with the president as. CEO, House members as board of directors, Governors as share holders and populace as workers.This oil company called Nigeria still needs foreigners as 'foreign technical partners' that is how low we have gone.We won't be a country until each region can determine its future,we won't be a nation until each individual can work his future free of overbearing government interference.Then only then can we agree on one.

Well all I could tell is the elite are trembling n there is fear because NK has wake the youth from sleep so is clear now who are the parasites

Pacotdc:
Group kicks, says talks deceptive, hypocritical

The All progressives Congress (APC) has adduced the need to fix the nagging problems of insecurity and the recession as reasons for the delay in restructuring the country as outlined in the party’s manifesto.

APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, yesterday in a chat with The Guardian, faulted claims that the party was playing politics with the issue, said the issue of restructuring the country may not be placed on the front burner before 2019.

According to him: “My own take is that every government has its own priority and you will agree with me that if you have to deal with the issue of Boko Haram or you need to deal with the issue of the economy that has gone into recession and all that, you have to get your priorities right. I don’t think it would be a wise move to add the challenges of restructuring if you have not dealt with the problems that affect the average Nigerian.

“So when people are hungry, when people are losing jobs, when people’s salaries are not being paid I think any responsible government would consider this to be a priority even while it still believes in the restructuring of the country.

“The issue of restructuring is never a gimmick. It is in the manifesto of our party. How can that be a gimmick? That is why I said that the fact that it has not been done does not mean that it would not be done.’’

Meanwhile, former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has lauded former military president Ibrahim Babangida for throwing his weight behind calls for the restructuring of Nigeria.

In a statement yesterday, he also commended the recent resolution of the APC Progressive Governors Forum and several well-meaning Nigerians who stressed the need to restructure and entrench true federalism in the polity.

Saying that the issue transcends religion and ethnicity, he noted that the convergence of positions by leaders and stakeholders from diverse regions of the country on the issue speak volume of the need to ensure good governance in the polity.

He explained that the agitations for secession would not have arisen if the country had shown sincere readiness to address the underlying problems that feed the agitations by separatist forces.

However, the national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Alhaji Abdulsalam Abdulkadir, believes that those at the forefront of the calls to restructure the country were using it to score political goals.

Blaming the ruling elites for using the agenda to hoodwink the gullible populace to further their selfish desires, he challenged restructuring proponents to come out with a blueprint on how to achieve the goal.

If you look at the issue of fiscal federalism, are we going back to the old three of four regions or are we going to use the present six geo-political zones to achieve it? If we are to use the present six geo-political zone, take one of the zones for instance, which of the states of any of the zones would agree to merge with one another.

Also, the United Action for Democracy (UAD), a non-governmental and human rights group has kicked against the notion to restructure Nigeria as agitated for by some citizens of the country.

UAD yesterday at a press conference, moved against the pro-separatist agitation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the purportedly quit notice by the northern youths.

According to the convener of the group, Gabriel Ojumah, “Nigeria has moved from regional government to federal system of government yet things are not working right: what we need is not a geo-political restructuring but a change in the ruling class of the country.”

Ojumah reiterated that, “should Nigeria divide today, the known cabals in the leadership of the country will continue ruling in the various parts of the country hence we still come back to square one.” He added that the masses should be united in the front to change the current social order and exploitative ruling class in the country.

But the issues of Boko Haram and Economic Recession should have hastened the political restructuring of Nigeria, instead of delaying it.


APC, this is another BUNKUM from you.

Time to ask Gov. Wike of Rivers State, how market, as you are reading APC junk reasons why political restructuring can't be done now -and most probably in the nearest future?

Self interest led former so-called leaders of the non-Igbo in the SS to beg Gowon to restructure Nigeria as they begged him to carve out non-Igbo areas from Biafra.

After creating Cross Rivers and Rivers states to scuttle Biafra, northern people seized the oil blocks in the Niger delta, the environment of the Niger delta devastated.

Stories

From the right up, I observe that-
1. Restructuring is not A PC priority though the party realises the importance to citizens.
2. APC plans to ride on Restructuring come 2019.
3. Even the Boko Haram, unemployment and hunger which A PC claims to 've the reasons for delay in restructuring have not been addressed to 25percent.
NIGERIANS SHINE YOUR EYES. NEXT ELECTION IS NEAR.

APC must be thinking that everyone else is a fool except themselves for them to be dishing out this kind of blatant lies n after thoughts, even the devil knows the core north is vehemently opposed to real n total restructuring of the country, but now that the APC have inadvertently admitted to technically supporting restructuring, like I have always said, let all the agitators forged a common front guided by sound logical reasoning n presentations,grab APC n the core north by the balls,they will have no choice but to accept the popular demand thus setting the stage for the final corrections of the nations numerous ills towards a well deserved peace n prosperity.

They can delay until the year 2050.
Our people wont be part of their delay tactics.
They can very well come and fight us over our fundamental human rights to choose where to belong.

We will gladly take of Fulani in warfare anytime or anyday.

Is restructuring not supposed to be one of the policies that help solve the problem of hunger and lost of job?

That is to say restructuring Nigeria will never happen because the bad economy and Boko Haram is not going anyway soon. But just understand that restructuring Nigeria is an important aspect in Nigeria economy recovery.
