ReplyDeleteFederal government can force people to be quiet now right. The dissatisfaction with the people as a result of injustice and miss rule will still bring out the agitation for restructuring. Buhari truncated our democratic experience in December 1983 because of corruption and in 2015, after 32years, you are fighting the same corruption that you truncated a legitimate government for, in the same country, this should tell every in sane person that something is fundamentally wrong with our structure right now.
