When we started the #RestructureNigeria campaign, people said we were reacting to the loss of GEJ and that we were here to oppose PMB and the APC. We showed them proof that the demand for True federalism preceded the 2015 general election and that many of us actually campaigned for the removal of GEJ.

Again, they said we were the intellectual wing of the secessionist movements. We showed them proof that we want a restructured Nigeria, not a divided Nigeria.

Again, they said we were sponsored by the opposition PDP. We showed them proof that the campaign team is made up of everybody (including APC & PDP) and even some of us supported the emergence of PMB/APC at the center.

Again, they said true federalism was not part of APC/PMB agenda for Nigeria. We showed them proof that true federalism was the number one promise in the PMB/APC manifesto.

Again, some said we forged that particular page of the manifesto. We said go to APC headquarters and see the original version for yourself and then sue us for forgery.

Again, some said it is too early for the APC/PMB to implement true federalism. We made it clear that PMB/APC cannot build on a faulty foundation. True federalism is the first thing they should have done. You lay the foundation first, before you start other works. No wonder true federalism is the number one promise in their manifesto.

Some others said we are Niger Delta activists trying to use federalism to get resource control. We explained clearly the difference between federalism and resource control and showed why Niger Delta leaders want resource control but not necessarily federalism.

Many people think that as long as PMB has not said anything positive about true federalism, he is against it and they must be against it too. Shallow thinking. Whatever Buhari and the APC opposes, they must oppose. Zombies! We cannot make progress with these kind of people in the majority.

The point is that many Nigerians are too blinded by loyalty that they end up ruining a government they think they are protecting. Let us not make the mistake of thinking that politicians can only be changed by the ballot and in every four years. With constructive criticisms and objective analysis of the situation and their actions, we can change both the government and the way the government officials think on a daily basis.

The call to restructure Nigeria is something every progressive Nigerian should support irrespective of political, religious or ethnic affiliations.

It is not a campaign against Buhari or the APC or against the North. It is in the interest of the entire country and I am sure if many more Nigerians join the call for a restructured Nigeria, President Buhari, the APC and the entire NASS will do same. We have an ignorant majority in this country and we must now do everything to reverse the situation.

True federalism solves over 70% of our political, religious, ethnic, social and economic problems in Nigeria. We therefore have a moral and patriotic duty to make it happen.

We all need to support the campaign in every way we can. If you cannot write for #TrueFederalism, then join the walk that will be coming up soon in your city and state. Be proud to fly the 'Restructure Nigeria' banners and wear the 'Federalism' shirts when the time comes. If you cannot walk for true federalism, then sponsor those who can walk by buying one or two T-shirts or other promotional materials and distribute them free in your neighborhood. In whatever way you can, please support the 'Restructure Nigeria' campaign. We should not handover this mess of a country to the next generation like this. Our parents have failed us, are we going to fail our own children?

To restructure Nigeria is a task that should and can be done.

We the Federalists have always been in the minority but with focus, consistency, objectivity and reason, we will effect the real change in Nigeria.

Nigeria will be restructured in our time.
