Nigeria will crash if the renewed agitation for restructuring is ignored, says Bishop of Calabar Diocese, Anglican Communion, The Rt. Rev. Tunde Adeleye.
Adeleye, who gave the warning in Calabar, Cross River State on Tuesday, September 5, during a chat with journalists, said his position was not a prophecy but stressed that there was imminent danger if the leadership of the country failed to embrace the agitation for restructuring.
According to him, the system and manner in which the country is administered is the major reason why real development has not taken place.
The clergyman said any move that would bring about the restructuring of Nigeria would be a welcomed development.
Obasanjo Speaks On Restructuring
He said, “There must be restructuring and unless this is done, I fear that we may crash as a country. I am not prophesying doom neither am I being pessimistic; however, at this rate where the centre is heavily loaded with money and the states and local governments are not having anything to celebrate, these things will crash us unless we restructure.
“The governors go cap in hand to the centre to get money and you hear things like bailout. A system of government, which will allow people to take care of certain things for themselves, is what will help us. A situation where Abuja dictates education, health, police and even the water that comes from your ground and not controlled by you is not sustainable.”
