Our Blueprint On Restructuring Ready, Afenifere Tells Tinubu

Pan-Yoruba social political group, Afenifere has hinted that  its blueprint on how the Nigeria project can be restructured was ready.

The group said its idea of restructuring the country tilted towards the adoption of parliamentary system of government which helps not only to cut down billions spent campaigning for elections but also reduce significantly the huge cost of governance under the federal system of government

This is just as Afenifere  said that President Bola Tinubu has no excuse not to run with the vision of restructuring the country having been at the vanguard of this struggle and a beneficiary of the call for restructuring within this democratic dispensation.

The publicity secretary of the group, Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo, disclosed this at a briefing of journalists after the caucus meeting of the Afenifere held at the Isanya Ogbo, Ijebu residence of the Yoruba leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo.

The meeting which was presided over by Pa Adebanjo  had in attendance Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the deputy leader of the group, Chief Supo Sonibare, treasurer,  Mrs Kofoworola Bucknor, former deputy governor of Lagos State, Prince Justice Faloye, deputy national publicity secretary, Chief Segun Ojo, Bashorun Segun Sanni among others.

Adejumo said, “What we have here today is caucus meeting of Afenifere and the germane national issue that took the centre stage was restructuring.

“Sometimes in November last year, a committee under the leadership of Oba Oladipo Olaitan was set up to aggregate Afenifere’s view on restructuring and today, the committee said that the report is ready.

“However, this report will still be considered by the executives of the association after which it will be taken to the General Assembly where all the members will get to know what we stand on restructuring as Afenifere and we shall then print the report, do our various publicity on it for people to be enlightened on what we believe on restructuring.

“Tinubu himself is a product of Afenifere, he was elected on the platform and ideology of Afenifere.  He took the federal government to court under the leadership of former President Olusegun Obasanjo for 31 times in an efforts to implement restructuring.’’
