The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has berated the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, for rejecting calls for the restructuring the nation.
According to the group, Tambuwal outburst on the calls was parochial.
It would be recalled that Tambuwal, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, had said the unity of the country was not negotiable while rejecting the idea of restructuring.
But the group in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, insisted that the crisis currently going on in the country will remain unresolved as long as leaders like Tambuwal keep their ant – restructuring mindsets.

Afenifere, described the present structure of the country was “iniquitous, skewed, unfair, unjust and not conducive to justice, harmony, development and happiness of the constituent units of the country.”
Odumakin said: “Today, Nigeria is on ground zero with the government as confused as the governed and we are on our knees praying to avert our looming implosion. And it is only those dwelling in mischief or the hopelessly ignorant that would not see that the terminal crisis in Nigeria today, flows from our structural dysfunctionality.
“It is therefore perfidious for anyone to tell us at this stage that the constituent units of Nigeria should be in their chains inside a suffocating cage with a little more meat added to the slave ration they currently enjoy.”
