The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in total support of restructuring of the country in a manner that will effectively improve the growth, development and prosperity of Nigeria.
Dayo Adeyeye, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP National Caretaker Committee, made this clarification recently.
“As the word implies, restructuring is a process of re-arrangement, re-organization or re-formation of the manner or way in which something (in this case governance) is done.
“As used in the Nigeria political lexicon, restructuring refers to the Modification of the System of governance to guarantee the socio-economic and political growth and development of the Nigerian people.
“It is imperative to inform Nigerians that our party is not against restructuring of the system of governance in the country in a manner that places Nigeria firmly on the path of growth, development and prosperity,” Adeyeye said.
“Examples of the amendment can be found in preamble 2(b) and (e), Section 7(b) and (f), and many more provisions of our party constitution.”
“The administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan summoned a National Conference to recommend amendments to the Nigerian Constitution.
“This conference submitted a report with several proposed amendments to the constitution which the APC led Federal Government has refused to implement more than two years later.
“In light of the above, we reiterate our support for the restructuring of the system of governance in the country to ensure more functional and efficient governance at all tiers of government.
“We urge leaders of opinion and leaders of thought around the country to participate in the process in the best interest of our country and its people,” he said.
