Fill your empty skull with this first.
FYI, restructuring became more prominent during Nnamdi Kanu's agitation but before then, Atiku has been advocating for restructuring.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked oil producing states in the Niger Delta region, to drop their agitation for resource control.



As a united nation, Obasanjo said oil resources in the country should be managed for all Nigerians, and not controlled by any section of the country.

Obasanjo, however, explained that the oil producing communities should benefit first and then all parts of the country.

[b]He didn't just give you article but also something that is of public record, if you get it you can find everyone's contributions to the idea of restructuring. [/b]The conference is like the records of the national assembly on any bill.... You will find the pro and anti elements records of every contributor to the issue: It is also common knowledge that the six geopolitical zones structure which all parts of Nigeria benefit from today is the fruit of the collaborative efforts of His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, the late Alex Ekwueme and other patriots.

“Their efforts at restructuring Nigeria are captured in the Hansard of the 1995 Constitutional Conference, which is a public document and is still available at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Professor Osinbajo may want to familiarise himself with that document.

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo again opposed the agitation for resource control for the people of the Niger Delta region saturday, insisting that all resources within the Nigerian space belong to all parts of the country.

Obasanjo argued that if God wanted each state and each region to control what is found in their land, he wouldn't have brought the entity called Nigeria together.

ImperialYoruba:
Atiku's campaign is playing with words and giving false hopes to defraud the electorate.

Restructuring we want and need is to return the country to its pre-1963 constitution. If we do that, the topic of littoral states and resource derivation will automatically be resolved, in addition to other gains which that constitution granted...but which Atiku is avoiding.


Dont let Atiku fool you a third time.
He fooled you on VP choice, fooled you on one term promise, he will fool you a third time with his bojuboju on restructuring. Resource derivation is not the issue, bring him to outline his vision on pre-63 constitution and see how he dodges it quick.

BIAFRONIGERIAN:
I called ur post trash cos Atiku's campaign team gave vivid acct of how Atiku have played major role in restructuring movements since 1995 including taking part (along side Ekwueme) in creating the geographical zones and sponsoring oil resource control policy and u are blaming PDP for not restructuring Nigeria.
FYI, between 2006 - 2009, 2013-2017, Atiku was not in PDP.

Secondly, Did GEJ promise restructuring ? No

Yet he made a very bold attempt at restructuring by organizing CONFAB.
What move have ur lord and master made at restructuring Nigeria

Mankosi:
unfortunately u will wait for ages because he won't surface again...

No single projects commissioned? You must be a strong member of APC

When the basis of a political campaign deviates from an advertisement of competence and achievement, and moves into the realm of ethnic, tribal and/or religious sentiments (e.g. if you are Muslim, vote for only Muslims, if you are Yoruba, vote for only Yorubas etc.), you don't need to be told that that shouldn't be the case in sane civil societies. Even though it's the norm in Nigeria, it doesn't necessarily make it okay for electoral choices and campaigns to be based on tribes of the candidate

Except I read it wrong, Fashola made a statement that the SW (Yorubas) should vote for APC so that a Yoruba man can be president in 2023. I'm not surprised you see nothing wrong with such an ethnic/tribal statement; after all, you're just another citizen of a country where ethnic, tribal and religious sentiments reign supreme.

obailala:
The SE has a very good political case why it has to support PDP. Supporting Atiku/Obi might just be able to assure an Igbo presidency in 2027

Likewise, the SW has a very good political case why it has to support APC irrespective of PMB's performance. Supporting APC would providr a 95% assurance of power returning to the SW in 2023.

What I do not understand is why anyone has to insult the other group for their political choices.

Regarding power shifting to the SE, I still can't understand why anyone would sit in their house doing nothing and expect the crown to be given to him on a platter. Political powers in the SW like Tinubu and co have been licking the balls of the Fulanis for the past 4 years for a particular reason. It's even more amusing that some folks from the SE then fling insults at Tinubu and the entire SW for being Fulani slaves, and then these same set of people expect the north to handover to the SE?.... How can the north by-pass the SW that has given it all the support and then handover to it's greatest antagonists and mockers?

Biafra flag is so disgusting to look at .
Yuck!

lol Nairaland no go kill person with sensational news......
So did he tell you he knows about their official "professions"? ... besides, if Jesus was a Nigerian politician, he would have been crucified for visiting the house of the prostitute Mary Mgdalene.

Nigerians are Hypocrites!

jaxxy:
This is very funny cos if buhari was actually working most of us will still vote for him bt we have atikulated.

Atiku will sweep Adamawa surely and even challenge buhari in katsina.

CilicMarin:
Even if Buhari Won the whole North and South West and some states in the South South...


We will Still defeat him with our Atikulation in the South East....

Sai Alhaji Atiku!
