The Honourable Member representing Ado/Ogbadigbo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency,
Dr. Francis Ottah Agbo has lent his voice to the increasing calls for the restructuring of Nigeria.
Dr. Ottah Agbo who doubles as the chairman of the House Committee on Drugs and Narcotics made the call on Wednesday in a statement signed by his media adviser, Mr. Andrew Agbese.
According to Dr Agbo, the restructuring of Nigeria will address issues like the devolution of power, rotation of elected offices, fiscal federalism among other issues that are of great concern to Nigerians.
“As we mark our 60th Independence anniversary, I call for the restructuring of Nigeria to address all the areas our current structure had failed to address.
The Ozigizaga and Moving Train of Enone Politics added that the unity of Nigeria should be given paramount consideration as Nigeria cannot afford to disintegrate, stressing that the founding fathers of Nigeria never made a mistake in founding the country!
“Our leaders must consciously grow the unity of this country, by ensuring that all nationalities and sections have a sense of belonging, we must build a country where peace, justice and equity flow like an everflowing stream.
“It is by so doing that this country will not break up. If we continue the way we are going, the country will break up for as we write today, the soul of Nigeria is going and this is why many have said Nigeria is already a failed state,” he stated.
The rep member, who is also the Spokesman of the Minority Caucus, noted that the minority caucus under the leadership of Hon Ndudi Elumelu has been offering credible and constructive opposition to the ruling caucus.
He called for more support of Nigerians in the days ahead and saluted citizens of the country for their resilience in bearing many challenges in time past, urging them to be relentless in contributing their quota to the development of the country.
The Parliamentarian also thanked his constituents for supporting him and assured them that they will not be “shortchanged in the share of the national cake.”
