The Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, has described the clamour for restructuring Nigeria’s federation as an effort made towards “treating the symptoms, not the disease.” According to him, restructuring the minds of the people and the quality of governance was more important than the issue of devolution of power. He stated this during a chat with the media at the weekend. Shettima said: “My own take on this restructuring debate is that we are treating the symptoms, not the disease. “Restructuring my foot; let’s restructure our minds, let’s restructure our quality of governance. When people are talking of artificial intelligence, when others are talking of robotics engineering, of nanotechnology, we are talking of restructuring the federation; our problem is not an issue of devolution of powers, let’s be very honest. “Our problem, as Chinua Achebe rightly encapsulated, is largely that of leadership. Leadership that will put the nation first is much more important than restructuring the nation. Let’s restructure our minds. Let’s restructure our quality of leadership,” Shettima added On the public perception of federal government’s anti-graft war, the governor said President Muhammadu Buhari was the leader Nigeria needs to overcome its challenges, with respect to the anti- corruption campaign. “No matter what you will accuse Buhari of, nobody can accuse Buhari of corruption. He’s a stabilising factor in this country, he’s a man of impeccable credentials,” he said. Amid speculations over the President’s decision to contest the presidential election in 2019, Shettima believes President Buhari is the only one who has a say on such decision. He, however, said that nobody can force the President to contest in 2019, neither can anyone preventing for running for a second term in office. “That decision should be made by the President; nobody should ask him not to contest, in the same vein nobody should push him to contest. He has his own health to take care of, he’s not a young man by any standard. “The nation truly needs the wisdom, the integrity, the commitment of the likes of Buhari but believe me, whatever decision he takes, we are solidly behind him,” he said. www.igberetvnewsng.com/16327

restructuring can never work in a country where the fulani benefits morethan other region and at the same time, are found at the hem of politics. .holding the country at ransom..

Then omo ale Yoruba ni e.

No proper Yoruba man will go against restructuring just to spite the Igbos.

And where is the hate? And for whom?

Restructuring is the only lasting way forward for the country.

The omo ale here is you..

You lost your voice under previous administration when Igbos took over GEJ's govt. doing everything padi padi with North, totally sidelining Yorubas. Where were you then? Bloody sellout.

Yorubas have been asking for restructuring since the time of Awolowo whereas two-faced igbos keep changing mouth once they get juicy post.

Let North assure them of 2023 presidency and watch them change mouth again.. ode like you, what do you know?
Who takes SE seriously in Nigeria? A bunch whose rants are based on selfishness and greed.
Nonsense!

You will die on top of Igbo matter, U did not read where he said Buhari has impicable credentials,
Which credentials pls?

Honestly all this would have been averted if We had good leaders.
SE leaders are selfish and self centered idiots.
Why won't these people take us for granted?
They allied with them to kill their own through whom Nigeria would have been restructured or divided now he's outer sight, I haven't heard anything about Restructuring again.

It's like you know what is running through my mind.
Only few mumu yorubas would disagree with your post and the few mumus are ignorant of what SE is capable of.
Those people can do anything just to spite yorubas.


They accused yorubas of voting a fulani old man (buhari) but funny they are already shouting Atiku (a fulani)2019.

All of us (yorubas) can never be mumu at thesame time, let those who have chosen to be a mumu remain to be so.

God will bless you real big..

I have studied Igbos well to know their evil intent against Yorubas.

They think they can just come up with any trash and expect Yorubas to give consent. All they do is beef and envy Yorubas who don't care about their existence.

Field a Yoruba (Southerner) against Hausa/Fulani (North), they'll pick North. So who is fooling who?

Leave those idiot ones shouting restructuring. Na now their own day break.

Very cunning people

Sirjamo:
You are the idiot here, when you people were milking Nigeria, we did not here restructuring, now that you have been relegated, you now found solace in restructuring. We will not restructure anything, if you like, cry from now till infinity...
