The Directorate of the Concerned Patriots of Nigeria (CNPDN) has of late been forefront of advocacy for the restructuring of the country. In a conversation with some journalists as reported by The Guardian, the President of the group, Wale Olagun has emphasized why the group is clamoring as to promote national restructuring where they will be a unity without any form of division.
He noted that if these system
is practiced there would be development among tribes in the country. He
suggested that the restructuring is the solution to the problem of corruption
and tribal sentiments in the country which is making Nigerians to advocate for
regional government.
He said, “If we say the Igbos
should go and become a region, what will be the fate of Delta State? Even Lagos
people will not agree to join a regional government. Some people are just
talking about the regional system; it is because of the corruption and tribal
sentiments in the country. You hear ‘we want to go, we want to go’ because one
tribe dominates others.
However, when questioned to
expressed his opinion on the issue of the creation of police, Wale stated that
the idea of State policing will cause crisis as some governors might use the
opportunity to abuse power in office. He also noted that restructuring can only
exist if different tribes can dialogue and cooperate together. He pointed out
greed to be the problem of politicians, adding that the poor masses have no to
be controlled.
