Civil war hero and Second Republic politician, Chief Guy Ikokwu, has stated that Nigeria will not exist beyond the end of 2017 if positive steps are not taken to restructure the country, adding that the country is already at the brink of falling over.
He said this while fielding questions from The Sun on the state of the nation, noting that agitations in some parts of the country will not wait till 2019.
He said, “If Nigeria is not restructured in the next 12 months, to be finished in 2018, there will be no federal elections.
“Because the federal elections will be held under the old governance system – the unitary system.
“By the end of this year (I’m not saying next year), if positive steps are not taken, Nigeria is already at the brink and will fall over.
“I can tell you that the agitation in most of the zones will not wait for 2019.
“And if it falls over, nobody can pull Nigeria back; it will totally disintegrate.
“It had happened in several countries where those who were in hegemonic control kept prevaricating until the union collapsed.
“We need to study history and see what happened in Soviet Union. Go to Asia and see what happened.”
