Senior Pastor of Lagos-based church, Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, has joined other prominent Nigerians to call on the Federal Government, led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to urgently restructure the country to save it from collapse.

The cleric stated this on Monday in an apparent response to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu. The Presidency had in the statement described recent calls for the restructuring of the country as “recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country.”


The PUNCH had earlier reported that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had on Saturday called on the President to restructure the country “as soon as possible”.

Adeboye, who spoke at a symposium alongside the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; former Governor of Cross River State and former presidential aspirant, Donald Duke; and a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, warned that it was either the country restructured as soon as possible or it broke up. “You don’t have to be a prophet to know that one,” he added.


The Presidency, in a reaction on Sunday night, had said, “The Presidency responds to the recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country with factions giving specific timelines for the President to do one thing or another or else, in their language, ‘the nation will break up.’

“This is to warn that such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted as this government will not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time when the nation’s full attention is needed to deal with the security challenges facing it at a time of the COVID-19 health crisis.”


Adeyemi, who disagreed with Shehu that the calls for the restructuring of Nigeria threaten the corporate existence of the country, stressed that effective leaders must listen to the views of citizens and take appropriate actions.


“When did it become a threat for citizens to express opinions, even if strong, about the structuring or restructuring of their country? Effective leaders listen,” Adeyemi wrote on his verified Twitter handle, @sam_adeyemi.

Hmm

If Failure Was A Person,
It Would Be A Man Who Failed Twice As A President, And Keeps Throwing Blame Around.

Twice As Dull.

Everyone is saying same thing but in different languages. If only the man in question has ears.

Leave him sir; a dog that is destined to get lost won't hear the Hunter's whistle

Pharaoh Buhari

them say him get ear infection

This current administration does not listen to anyone who criticizes its failure but if you sing its praises , you're an ally .

Little wonder.

Let face the truth the old man is demented and does not know what is going on around him. His subordinates are just giving excuse to continue looting untill their tenure is over.

He is never a leader to start with, he is a ruler, so he can never be effective in any way

Waste of time and scare wisdom.

Is restructuring of Nigeria in the hands of a president of Nigeria...not just Buhari...I mean any president of Nigeria?

Restructuring is not the job of the President;rather,it is within constitutional purview of the Legislature,that is the National Assembly.Let the advocates of restructuring channel their proposition to the lawmakers in the respective areas.
