Again, Atiku Abubakar, the Former Nigeria’s Vice President, has said he favours the call for restructuring of the country. He wants a Nigeria that every man, woman, and child has a chance to build and share in this great nation’s potential. According to him.

If it will remotely address it, let's start now. The best time to plant a tree is 35 years ago, the next best time is now. 2 Likes |

Atiku was once vice president, what did he do to put us on the path forward? Why didn't he stand for restructuring then? |

A lot have been said about about Atiku's past and sincerity of purpose in governance. This is time to dissect Aspirant's promises and juxtapose it with the realities we are familiar with. Atiku owns two companies I know very well, heliconia under prodeco then Intels, all of them are major monopolies in the Niger delta seaports, no thanks to the mago mago he did as the NCP chairman between 2003 to 2007. How can any sane individual believe Atiku will restructure nigeria when his bread comes from the Niger delta? Let us not forget that as far as true Niger deltans are concerned, restructuring means resource control? how do we expect Atiku to withdraw from a monopoly he has enjoyed for years just to make the Niger deltans happy? Of course, if the Niger delta must control their resources, they must control their sea ports as well as promised by Atiku, if that happens, then Atiku's intels and prodeco are gone because he is not a son of the Niger delta. this is the economic burden Atiku Carries that makes his restructuring plan unrealistic & deceitful. He carries another political burden, All aspects of restructuring as clamoured by Nigerians over the years are not an executive fiat, lets use resource control for example, Federation account, RMFAAC, federal allocations are all creations of section 162 of the constitution, any change will not come through an executive order but a constitutional amendment that requires 2/3rd majority of the upper house, lower house and all states houses of Assembly, will Atiku occupy all those positions too? Presently, Buhari has given us Judiciary autonomy, his proposal for local government autonomy is stuck at the lower house, that is where his power ends, will Atiku not use the same constitution that held buhari by the Jugular? You can see clearly that economically and politically, Atiku doesn't have the power to give us any restructuring, I can bet my life on that. This is the downside of constitutional democracy, every system of government has its pros and cons, the cons of constitutional democracy is that you can never get everything you ask for regardless of sincerity of purpose of leadership, it is for this reason that democracy evolved to constitutional parliamentary, direct and indirect democracies etc. What are the guarantees that PDP will win majority of all those houses? even if they do (very unlikely), what will guarantee that PDP wont have usurpers like Saraki & Dogara in the APC majority parliament yet behaving as if they are in opposition? so bad they couldn't even confirm presidential appointees? this is the reality of our constitution which atiku wishes to swear to uphold. One will ask; why did the rift between parliament and executive start with Buhari? the answer is simple, before now, from the Obasanjo's, to the yaraduas to the jonathans, we ran a "Ghana must go" parliament, today Buhari has ended that madness, an aberration that even obasanjo himself testified to. We have another golden opportunity to prove to these politicians we are smarter than this because enlightenment has availed us the opportunity to realize the world works differently from our thoughts. Atiku has never changed and will never change who he was during his privatization and concessioning agenda, Atiku's restructuring is a scam!! 2 Likes |
