A Second Republic governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, believes most of the agitators of restructuring in the country are doing so for ulterior motives.
He says only a very few individuals are demanding for the restructuring of the country for genuine reasons.
“No doubt, many of the people calling for the restructuring of the country are doing that for their selfish motives,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted him yesterday as saying in a telephone interview.
“Some of them are making the call as part of their political agenda, some for ethnic supremacy, others for resource control, while some are for their secessionist agenda,” he added.
“Only very few are calling for restructuring for the genuine reason of promoting development, unfortunately, there is no consensus on the form that restructuring should take.”
The former governor, however, noted that there was need for the country to promote unity and development.
Musa said he was opposed to any form of restructuring that would threaten the corporate existence of Nigeria or promote inequality.
