Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) has countered many politicians, stating that Nigeria's sovereignty is negotiable and mere restructuring won't work.
“I see every politician saying restructuring, but I disagree. I think there is a misconception error in assuming that restructuring will work.
“I also think the Acting President was wrong to say that Nigeria is indissoluble. There is nothing sacrosanct about Nigeria.
“It can blow-up any day. It is an artificial creation. It was made in 1914 and when it was amalgamated, we were not there.
“It was amalgamated for the interest of the colonialists who wanted to export things from Nigeria. And since 1914, till date, we have not had any home grown process in which people are involved in with creation of their constitution.
According to him, those who are clamoring for restructuring are the people who want power in 2019.
“We are so gullible in this country. Among the 180 million Nigerians and 160 million youths unemployed, we have no road, no health care, nothing. Yet we continue to be deceived.
“This is part of the warning we need to pass on as civil society. Restructuring is not in the interest of Nigerians. How many Nigerians understand what restructuring is about?”
