Nigeria Needs no Re-Structuring- Senator Jajere

By

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Yobe, Sen. Alkali Jajere, has said there was nothing wrong with Nigeria’s present structure. According to him, Nigeria’s structure, as it is, cannot be faulted and so agitating for its restructuring was diversionary and misplaced. Jajere who represented Yobe South Senatorial District between 2011 and 2015, pointed out that what the country needed was good leadership that would ensure justice and fairness to all. The ex-lawmaker told newsmen in Damaturu that the call for the restructuring of Nigeria was only but a relevance-seeking ploy by politicians, ahead of the 2019 election. “Nigeria operates democratic system of government with all parts of the country represented in the National Assembly. “Therefore, if anyone has any issue with Nigeria, he should submit it to his representative to be decided on the floors of the assembly. “Threats of secession or restructuring would not solve the cry of marginalization by the various ethnic groups in the country. “Therefore, reverting to regional system of government or creation of more geopolitical zones, states and local governments, will not stop the cry of marginalisation. “At a time when the world is fast moving towards globalisation, Nigeria cannot contemplate issues capable of threatening its corporate unity. “We are lucky to have this administration that is committed to the development of the country. “If there is anything that needs our commitment and collective resolve is the fight against corruption and ethno-religious intolerance, because Nigeria has adequate resources to make the lives of the people better. “What is most important is to join hands with this administration to fight corruption to make Nigeria a better place for all,”Â  Jajere further said.
