Those Criticizing Buhari About Restructuring Must Watch It - Presidency

The Presidency has advised proponents of restructuring to exercise restraint in their choice of words, saying issues are resolved through “established processes, not by abuses, insults or irresponsible statements’’.

Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, gave the advice in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.

Shehu was reacting to opinions expressed by Nigerians for and against President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech on Monday on his return from a medical vacation.

He said that the call became imperative to avoid heating up the polity and causing acrimony across the country.

The presidential aide said that majority of the citizens welcomed the broadcast, and condemned those criticizing the president for not responding to calls for restructuring of the country.

He said that the president had no power to impose restructuring on the country by military dictate.

Shehu explained that National Assembly members were the elected representatives of the people who could handle agitations for restructuring and other constitutional changes.

According to him, the president is constitutionally bound to work with the national assembly to deal with such complex issues.

He reminded the critics that Buhari would not exercise arbitrary powers or bypass the legislature in taking such fundamental decisions.
