The National Chairman of the
United Progressives Party (UPP), Chief Chekwas Okorie, has claimed that the
current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari has succeeded in
diving Nigeria.
Okorie noted that Buhari failed
to use the 57th independence anniversary as an opportunity to correct his false
start.
According to the former
presidential aspirant, “Buhari started very badly by alienating people,
especially the people of the South-East, who he claimed didn’t vote for him.
“Again, this is the middle of his
four-year tenure and I thought that his speech on a day like the independence
anniversary should have been reconciliatory, reassuring and urging the citizens
to come together for a brighter future.
“But he missed that opportunity.
Nigeria is more divided now than any time in recent history. From independence
to this day, Nigeria has not been this divided and it is as a result of the
failure of the present leadership.
“But, I do believe that there
would be political consequences for this failure and it will reflect in the
2019 general elections,” he told New Telegraph.
Speaking on the way forward, the
elder statesman opined that restructuring is the solution to the ongoing
problems in the nation.
He added, “The way forward is to
bring about justice by restructuring Nigeria and every well meaning Nigerian
has said it.
“Even my party, the United
Progressive Party (UPP) has gone beyond restructuring to emphasise
self-determination to the extent that it is in our constitution, which was
ratified at a national convention.
“Any moment from now, Nigerians
will stop talking about restructuring and move to the next level, which is
self-determination. At that point, we may be saying bye to corporate Nigeria.”
