APC Has Failed On Change Promises- Atiku
By Ugwu, Chinagorom Joseph
Nsukka- Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said
that the APC-led federal government had failed Nigerians in delivering
the change it promised during the 2015 general elections.
Atiku who spoke at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, on Wednesday, in a
lecture series organized by the Senior Staff Club of the University
canvassed for a Nigerian restructuring that will devolve powers to the
federating units.
Addressing a large crowd made up of academics, students, politicians,
Igbo leaders, among others, he stated that Nigeria had failed to
realize her potentials as a result of refusal of the political leaders
to restructure the country.
''Restructuring will help to bring the benefits of change we promised the people in the last election "which we have not seen.
''We need restructuring in order to address the challenges that hold
us back; these problems will ''remain unaddressed unless we restructure.
“Issue
of restructuring is beyond resource control; there are more important
issues. In my own vision, restructuring will not make some states richer
and some poorer; it is a win-win situation for all the States. Nigeria
will derive more revenue after restructuring”, he declared.
