Renowned Politician in Igbo Land and the Chairman Ohanaeze Indigbo Council of Elders Chief Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has said that restructuring as of now is the best option for Nigeria democracy.
Speaking with journalists in owerri, Imo State recently to Mark 79 years, anniversary, he said that if Nigeria is restructured, it will be the best country in the world.
He disclosed that restructuring the Country to ensure devolution of powers to generating units is the panacea to political stability in Nigeria, adding that Nigeria needs strong federating Units and a weak Center so that everybody will leave Abuja and go back to their region /States and develop the place and people will now pursue opportunities in their respective states not in Abuja.
“Equally the Local Governments will now be made very functional to bring opportunities and development closer to the people agitation against injustice, marginalization, tribalism amongst other, will all seize because every region is developing at their own pace with what proceeds from their soil and based on how they have been able to maximize and manage the proceeds from their respective regions”
He said that the Center now gets a portion of the proceeds from every region to manage External Affairs like Immigration /Foreign Affairs, Defence /Military.
Iwusnyanwu further stated that it is our view that the presidency should now be rotational and zoning of the
Presidency should now be enshrine in the Nigeria constitution and implementation of Federal Character in all other political position
at the National Level and in all appointments and employments would then further give every Nigerian a sense of belonging in the Nigerian project.
