TINTINABULATION:
By this time tommorrow, i am sure Chief Mathew Aremu Olusegun Okikiola Obasanjo will issue a rejoinder to this Statement. Baba doesn't gree for anybody.

VULCAN:
You tried to sound intelligent but only showed how unimaginative you are.

If the sitting President is against restructuring can the Assembly and others do it on their own??

The President can veto any bill and it will die on the vine

That you cannot grasp that a sitting President is the ONLY person who can initiate the process, calm all objections and frayed nerves and keep pushing till it's done.

That you are blind to the fact that the APC is the majority party therefore it will be easier for Tinubu to get it done and that a strong President can push and pull much more weight than a weak President like Jonathan.

That you must be too young to remember that Tinubu has been a vocal advocate for restructuring for well over 20yrs before he became President.

Tinubu will NEVER support restructuring until he and his party are no longer in power. Restructuring will make Nigeria better but as a side effect-weaken the centre.

He won't support that till his party is out of power

Let me rest by saying you don't have to always pass comment on every political issue like you are some kinda sage when you can't even see the blindingly obvious.

You cannot help showing how myopic minded you really are, if no be ignorance dey worry you, na President dey restructure country, or The National Assembly with two third of the states houses of assembly in approval?

How can the President amend the constitution, what kind of nonsense?

JasonScoolari:
Wole Olanikpekus shouldn't be taken serious.

seunmsg:
How exactly should the country be restructured? What’s the new structure you guys are proposing?

HarryGleb:
Let every region control its resources. Let's decentralize Abuja.

Question: sir, what do you mean by restructure the country.
Olanipekun: As a lawyer I can tell you unequivocally that we must restructure immediately.
Question: You haven't answered the question sir.
Olanipekun: I am telling you that as far I am concerned we have no choice but to restructure.
Question: With all due respect sir, the question is, what is your definition of restructuring.
Olanipekun: Well the simplest answer to your question is that this is the time to restructure to save the country.

Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Thiefnubuu fails to restructure Nigeria then he will forever be remembered as a villain.

You shouldn't be asking anyone this question.

In 2017, APC set up a restructuring committee headed by El-Rufai. Among other things, the committee recommended resource control by states and the creation of state police. Buhari didn't implement the report.

Surprisingly, Tinubu, who has campaigned for true federalism all this political life, doesn't care anymore. APC is a cancerous lump on Nigeria.

BALLOSKI:
OBJ had the chance to make this country work, but he blew it. He's part of the reasons we're still here. If OBJ wasn't corrupt and selfish, he'd have been our best.

He could have taken that advice to amend the constitution, but he knew the existing one favors him more, hence his reluctance to kickstart an amendment.

He organised a political conference in 2005 and dumped the report.

emorse:
Are you saying that the "legal juggernaut", Wole Olanipekun is "myopic minded" and "ignorant" to have approached the then president OBJ for restructuring?

Bobloco:
Tinubu is already a villain

blacknp:
Is he more learned in the laws of Nigeria than Rotimi Williams, & Sir Adetokumbu Ademola that took part in the drafting of the 1979 constitution, 1999 As Amended?

Does the President have the power to restructure, or draft a constitution, you know dey use your own common sense they reason?

emorse:
The bolded is uncalled for. I asked you a simple question.

That said, is there anybody in a better position to initiate the process of restructuring a country than her president?

Also, if the constitution drafted by Rotimi Williams and co can no longer sustain the country, should we remain stuck?

Fujiyama:


Bola Tinubu gave an interview many, many years ago where he said he didn't believe in the country Nigeria. That's a very short step from renouncing citizenship. Let me quickly add that he is very much entitled to hold that view.

The problem is that he refused to address that old comment of his when he decided to run for president last year. No serious country would ignore that sort of thing. You must explain to voters why you hold that sort of view...do you still hold that view...and if you don't hold those views anymore, what are your reasons?

Instead of forcing Bola Tinubu to explain his prior comments, Nigerians went to sleep with their eyes wide shut. And so here we are. A man is leading a country he publicly said he does NOT believe in...and he has never clarified or retracted his comments. He has never even addressed them. Why should anyone be surprised things are the way they are? How in God's name can it work?

blacknp:
You are referring to a comment he made in 1997 when he was in exile, and the constitution suspended by the Military?

Why do you Things just like deceiving yourselves in your political utopian misconstrued hallucination?
