The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed claims that President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected restructuring.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in reaction to the President’s New Year nationwide address on Monday, said there was nothing in Buhari’s speech to suggest that he had foreclosed a debate on the issue.
He said the President explained that Nigeria’s problem was more of processes rather than structure.
The APC spokesmen said in a statement on Monday evening, “Quite significantly, he (the President ) also touched on the issue of restructuring; this is something he has not really touched on in the past at all.
“What the President said is that ‘Look, I am not ruling out restructuring’ but he also noted that the problem with us is not really the system but the processes, that whatever form of government or whatever structure or position we take regarding restructuring depends on how well we manage it.
“Some people say he has rejected restructuring, no. But he is saying that government welcomes all ideas on how to improve the country, that is like saying come let’s have a conversation . We are confident that we are going to see more developments (this year).”
Abdullahi commended Buhari for his renewed commitment to dealing with internal security challenges across the country.
