The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo of using restructuring to campaign against Atiku instead of telling Nigerians what the current government has achieved since taking over power. He made the remark while rubbishing Osinbajo’s claim over his involvement in the call for restructuring of Nigeria. Osinbajo had recently said that `the Waziri of Adamawa opposed the restructuring of the country when he was vice-president. However, the Atiku Campaign Organisation, in a statement said, “Given that restructuring has become the major issue in the 2019 elections and given that Prof Osinbajo and his boss have been speaking discordant tunes on restructuring, we can understand their desperation to revise history, however, it is impossible to revise documented history. “Professor Osinbajo needs to be reminded that there are well-documented accounts in the Nigerian media chronicling Atiku Abubakar’s support and struggle for restructuring. “To set the records straight, we recommend to Professor Osinbajo the article ‘Nigeria: 6-1 Onshore-Offshore Jurisdiction Verdict’ written by Jide Ajani, then the Political Editor of Vanguard Newspapers and published on July 13, 2001.
