Literary giant, Akogun Tola Adeniyi has stressed on the urgent need for Nigeria to be fully restructured before the 2019 general election in the country
Akogun Adeniyi while responding to questions from journalists at premier hotel where he chaired the annual summit of Yoruba Youth Assembly of the view that it is the right time for Nigeria to be restructured
According to him, “As a matter of fact I hold the view that there should be no election in Nigeria until Nigeria is restructured, because if there are elections today, it will just be continuity of the same rascality, continuity of the same confusion, continuity of the same lopsidedness, continue of the same poverty that has characterized the lives of Nigerians in the last few years Nigeria must be restructured, for peace progress and be entrenched in Nigeria”
Adeniyi said further that “people should be in charge of their affairs, every nationality should be in charge of their affairs, if you are saying you have a federation, federation means federating unit coming together to form a country ,that federating unit must agree on the kind of government they want to run”
He posit that the increasing agitation for restructuring shows that the structure that is presently in place is not working “and if it’s not working and there is a lot of poverty , insecurity and all bad things are happening it means the structures is not working and it has to be structured so that Nigeria can have peace progress and stability
