A First Republic Minister of Aviation, Mbazulike Amaechi has disclosed that what the people of the South East want ahead of 2019 general elections is for the country to be restructured.
According to him, this was not different from the desire of other Nigerians.
Speaking with New Telegraph, Amaechi said that under the present economic situation, anybody who thought he can perform magic in terms of moving Nigeria forward developmentally was a joker.
The elder statement said “it is not in the interest of the South-East or any other zone to be talking of the 2019 elections, when they cannot do much to lift the country if they produce the president.”
He added, “There is too much concentration of power in Aso Rock, which has made it autocratic. Nigeria needs to be renegotiated.
“We must redefine the basis of our federal structure in order to decentralize power as we had it during the First Republic.
“Under the present structure, any president that takes over cannot achieve anything. So what the Igbo want is what other Nigerians want.”
