RESTRUCTURING IS THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO AVOID DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA – OLAGOKE
The Islamic leader while speaking on the array of agitations from various groups threatening to break away from Nigeria, maintained that restructuring of the country is the only solution to avoid breakup of the country.
Penpushing further reports that, Olagoke while acknowledging the fact that Nigeria may break up one day due to the imbalance systems in the country, added that the problem Nigeria has is a leadership problem and not followership problem.
The Professor warned those agitating for the breakup of the country to thread softy, noting that “Nigerians should learn from Sudan, we should learn from Brexit. I have been warning people. The Igbo want to exit, Yoruba too want to go, but we should learn from Sudan, learn from Brexit. Those who want to go is because of development’.
“If we are not going to disintegrate, what are the antidotes? That is why we need restructuring, look at how much Senator collect. We can’t continue to be suffering in the midst of plenty. If we are to break up, we should not allow bloodshed, we must avoid bloodshed. After the break up, everyone will look inwards. But, I don’t want secession, I want restructuring to come to the past. All these imbalances will be avoided if we restructure this country.
“Leadership problem is what is lacking, Nigerians are good. It is not the followers that are the problem, it is the leaders. That is why I said that some of our leaders are artisans. Some of our institutions have to be involved because most of our leaders are artisans. All these people are artisans’,he emphasised.
