Former vice-president of Nigeria,
Atiku Abubakar, has expressed his happiness over Northern States’ support of
the call for restructuring.
Writing on his Twitter page on
Tuesday, Atiku also agreed with Bauchi state Governor, Mohammed Abubakar’s
stance, that youths should have a say in a restructured Nigeria.
He tweeted: “I am happy to see
Northern States backing the call for restructuring starting with the devolution
of powers.
“I agree with Bauchi State
Governor Abubakar @GovMAA, that our youths should have priority in a restructured
Nigeria with true federalism.”
Atiku earlier this week, stated
that Nigeria’s current arrangement was not working.
Speaking at a youth forum in
Abuja, he recalled that the Political Conference of 1995 recommended new system
of presidential government in which holders of the office would spend one-term
of six years.
He explained that the
recommendation was to also make the presidency rotate among the six
geo-political zones.
Good one. We need it now.
