The call for the restructuring of Nigeria as the only way to unite the country is getting louder.
“We need restructuring on the principle of pluralism like what operates in Switzerland which operates the pluralistic system of governance through the collegiate arrangement.
“The country needs to recognise the ethnic nationality in Nigeria; the country can be restructured on the basis of zones.
“Among the six-geo-political zones, we should do a rotational presidency of five years a term and to be rotated among the zones that will comprise the restructured Nigeria,’’ Okoro said.
Chief Gani Adams, the National Coordinator of OPC said that for there to be equity, fair play and justice, there was the need for a restructuring.
“Nigeria is still far from the Promised Land; for a country of so many ethnic nationalities, all yearning for growth and development at their own way, true federalism is the answer.
