Atiku's Restructuring, Another Ngn1 To $1 Scam!! Opinion by jpphilips(m): 5:26pm On Sep 06, 2018
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!!

No! Absolutely not the same. Restructuring is within the power of the powers that be to do or not to. But N1 to $1? Its not within a 8 year or 4 year presidents power to fulfil. That alone told me then APC were telling lies. Chinese Yaun is not equal to a dollar. China is the 2nd largest economy in the world. Even when Japan was 2nd it wasn't 1Yen to a $

With the present system of government, Nigeria will never be restructured even if atiku wanna restructure it,almost every state HA in Nigeria will reject resource control.

I strongly believe Nigeria need a SNC,cause with this present constitution we will never develop.

Why is no one talking about vision 2020 again lipsrsealed

Atiku of all people should know that what Nigerians needs most at this time is proper management of public fund and not geographical restructuring. Here he is clamoring over restructuring to attain votes but he should be aware that Nigerians are not fools

The word "Restructuring" will always remain a gimmick in Nigeria's political lexicon that will continue to be used by politicians to sway unsuspecting Nigerians for votes. The existing political structure favours the polical class irrespective of region, religion, party affiliation or tribe. No Nigerian leader will restructure Nigeria in the sense that Nigerians are clamouring for. It's in the collective interest of the political and economic elites to preserve and sustain the current structure. Don't be deceived.
