The Social Democratic Party, SDP,
has said that it was worrisome that President Muhammadu Buhari does not
understand the meaning of restructuring.
According to the party, the
President must have misinterpreted the call for restructuring to mean a call
for return to parliamentary system of government.
The SDP, however, insisted that
the country must be restructured.
This was part of a statement by
the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alfa Mohammad, on Wednesday in
Abuja.
SDP said, “From Mr President’s
position expressed on 1st January 2018, it is obvious that he may have
misinterpreted the call for restructuring to mean a call for return to
parliamentary system of government thereby resisting the need for virile and
workable nation where maximum welfare and security of every citizen would be
guaranteed as basis for sustainable development and good governance.
“The Social Democratic Party,
SDP, has read with great dismay the views expressed by president Mohammadu
Buhari on the call for the restructuring of Nigeria to reflect the principles
of true federalism. We are disappointed that Mr President is still hammering on
the blame game and canvassing the uae of the Assembly process that has
repeatedly been unable to yield any positive results in terms of restructuring
when, in fact, a report of the National Conference is on ground.
“Unfortunately for Nigeria, when
it comes to restructuring, the President would rather thrash his party’s
(APC’s) manifesto upon which he rode to power as well as the consensus of
opinions of eminent Nigerians from all walks of life drawn from various ethnic
nationalities and geo-political zones who sat at the 2014 national conference
organised by Federal Government of Nigeria.
“It is worrisome that the
President has continued bare -facedly to jettison the opinions of regional
socio – cultural organisations and respected individuals that restructuring
Nigeria is the best option for ensuring unity, stable democracy and progress.”
