The Association of South-East Town Unions (ASETU) has described those opposed to the restructuring of Nigeria as enemies of the country.
The Town Unions argued that since every section of Nigeria had agreed that the country was not working, restructuring remained the most viable option to address the situation.
Speaking to newsmen in Aba, Abia state, the Chairman of ASETU, Emeka Diwe, said: “ASETU condemns opposition to restructuring of the country by some groups in the North. Those kicking against it do not mean well for Nigeria.
“Recent events in Nigeria provide us with a great opportunity, as elders, to come together on a non-governmental platform to chart a course of discourse that follows the trajectory of building sustainable peace in Nigeria.
“We enjoin all notable stakeholders to expedite action to come together to dialogue and brainstorm on options that can make for lasting peace and national cohesion, contrary to the mutual mistrust that has pervaded our nation. This will avail us the requisite forum to consider the much talked about restructuring of the count.”
