Nigeria is Defective, Needs Urgent Restructuring – Emeka Anyaoku
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked Ndigbo and their governors to take their destiny in their hands by developing the South-East geographical zone instead of waiting for the government. Obasanjo Obasanjo said there was no need for the governors to wait for the Federal Government to develop South-East when they already had the instruments already.
Obasanjo noted that economy and security were two sides of the same coin, adding that none could be achieved without the other. He also asked Igbo elders to intervene in the on-going agitation for Biafra Republic to bring the situation under control. Obasanjo described the Igbo stock as unique people, saying their entrepreneurial and communal efforts were driven with the spirit of adventure.
Earlier, Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary General of Commonwealth said Nigeria is sick and reiterated his call for the restructuring of Nigeria to have fewer and effective federating units for this country to have stability and faster pace of development. “There is no need for Federal Government to periodically bail out any of the 36 non-viable units from dire financial conditions,” he said.
Obasanjo and Anyaoku reportedly made the comments in Enugu
