Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa has appealed to the Federal Government to set up a bi-partisan body to develop framework for the restructuring of the country.
“The present attitude of the Federal Government and the President on the issue of restructuring is something I disagree with.”
“I believe that this country has to have a meeting and discuss how we can make Nigeria more stable, prosperous and a Nigeria that can last and stand the test of time.”
“Those of us talking about restructuring are the true lovers of this country. There are those who feel they have advantages they want to protect and preserve, so they want the status quo maintained.”
“In that case, you are either talking about individual, regional or ethnic interests, so such people are not talking of the Nigerian interest.”
“Those of us calling for restructuring are protecting and preserving Nigeria’s corporate interest. The buck stops at the table of Mr. President. He has got to rise up to the occasion and unify this country more.”
“The country is too divided and left to drift for too long with this division. The division is getting deeper and deeper by the day and that is not good for the country we love.”
“Nobody should tell anybody in Bayelsa or any Ijaw or Niger Delta man that they love Nigeria more than us.”
“They don’t even understand the sacrifices we are making to keep Nigeria going. So, when we talk about restructuring, we are talking as Nigerian patriots.” Dickson stated.
