President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Says Restructuring Only Way Forward for Nigeria

  

   The President General of the apex cultural and political organization in the South East, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Nnia Nwodo has reiterated that restructuring is the way out of the numerous challenges confronting the Nation.

   Nwodo who stated this during a lecture at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London, said there have never been a time in the Nation’s history like it is now when the call for restructuring has been this virhiminent and unanimous.

   According to him, the expectation is that, now that the President is fully recovered and back to work, he will address the situation by constituting a nationwide conversation of all ethnic nationalities to look into the 2014 National Conference report and the trending views on this subject matter so as to come up with a consensus proposal that the national and state assemblies will be persuaded to adopt.

    He noted that the current model based on sharing Government revenue must give way to a new structure that will challenge and drive productivity in the different regions of the country.

   The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo pointed out that, the National Assembly, is a reflection of the deep ethnic divisions in the country and the Northern majority conferred on it by the military makes it highly unacceptable to Southerners.
