SAN FRANCISCO, June 27, (THEWILL) – Erstwhile Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has declared that the proposed restructuring of Nigeria transcends religion and ethnicity, even as he lauded the resolution of governors elected under the platform of the APC to support restructuring and true federalism of Nigeria.

He also described as patriotic the convergence of positions around
restructuring by leaders from diverse regions of the country, noting that it confirms that he was not just a lone voice in the wilderness in the inevitability of restructuring of Nigeria for the good of all.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by his Media Office, the APC stalwart explained that the agitation for secession would not have arisen if the country had shown sincere readiness to address the underlying problems that feed the agitations by separatist forces.

He maintained that the restructuring debate transcends the ambition of any single politician in Nigeria, warning that any attempt to ignore the agitations could make a bad situation more complicated.

Atiku said with so much hate, distrust, suspicions and fears in the country, political leaders should not be afraid to confront the challenge.

“Our current federal structure
should be freely discussed by allowing the federating units voice their grievances with a view to finding workable solutions that protects the rights and interests of all,” he said.

He warned that the country could not afford to allow pent up frustrations of the people to explode into violence, which would not only threaten innocent lives, but also harm the country’s economic assets.
