Restructure Won't Help Nigeria - Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, on Thursday warned Nigerians against seeing restructuring as the panacea to the many challenges confronting the country.

The Waziri of Adamawa stated this while speaking at the public presentation of the book, ‘In the belly of vultures’ written by Adetola Adeniyi, in Lagos.

According to the former Vice President, the current structure in the country facilitates corruption and makes it more difficult for a good leader to emerge.

He said, “I say this because some of those who argue against restructuring keep saying that it is not our main problem. Some say it is good leadership that we lack. Others say it is corruption that we should focus on instead.

“We’ll, my position is that all are important and should be addressed. But to pretend that the critical issues thrown up by the current deformed structure of our federation will disappear as soon as we have good leadership or tackle corruption is to miss the point.”
