An elder statesman and Muslim leader in Rivers State, Alhaji Abubakar Orlu, has advised the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to divide the country into six.

He said the country was due for restructuring, stressing that Nigerians should not deceive themselves of being a united nation.

Alhaji Orlu said this yesterday, in Port Harcourt, the state capital, while speaking on the state of the nation.

He emphasized that without restructuring, regional agitations would not end.

The elder statesman chided the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government for its lopsidedness in federal appointments, pointing out that the marginalization demonstrated by the government was the bane of the agitations across the country.

He stated, “Those, who are not supporting restructuring, are ignorant of what is happening in the country. They are enemies of the country. If they know what restructuring stands for, they will not opposed to it. I want you to know that, Nigeria of today, is not united and we should not deceive ourselves.

“Is it not clear that in the South-South and South East, this Federal government has nothing to show? That is not what government is all about. Previous government spent time developing the North. The issue of being voted for or not, should not determine development of an area.

He further cautioned the federal government on the Biafra agitation, stressing that the struggle would not die in the minds of South East people.

He said the call for restructuring could only pacify them.

“What we need is to appeal to them (Biafra people) to accept restructuring for us to live together in peace as one Nigeria. I want to state that the Biafra struggle is in the minds and blood of South East people and, therefore, cannot die. So, Federal Government should appeal to them to accept restructuring.

“Without restructuring this country, Nigeria will find it difficult to live together in peace because there is no unity. Let us restructure this country before the 2019 general elections, so that we can live as one country.”

True talk

I share the same views the the man..
I think Buhari wants restructuring, reorganization, reassessment and devolution of powers in Nigeria. I guess he wants Prof. Osinbajo to work along these lines.
Knowing fully well that the party isn't performing well at the moment, why not give Nigerians what they want?
He has heard the cries and the agitations of the peoples of Nigeria and I guess the peoples general has to rise up to the occasion by meeting the expectations of Nigerians so that his name won't be forgotten in the history of nation.
Don't be surprised if Prof. Osinbajo starts singing restructuring and setting up committees ASAP to kickoff the process of reorganizing the nation.
