Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has taken a swipe at leaders of some region particularly northern leaders that the call for restructuring does not translate to a division of Nigeria.
He made the remark while speaking on African Independent Television. The Governor said the present agitation for secession by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its sister secessionist group, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) is as a result of the current imbalance which other leaders have spoken against overtime.
Dickson said that those calling for restructuring are actually those that want the country united, balanced, more stable and equitable.
He said, “The word “restructuring” has been so overused and over flogged over the years. It's not just IPOB or MASSOB that is raising Issues about restructuring. The call did not start with the present government.
“Maybe because of the overuse or repeated use of this word, associated with some of the developments in some parts of the country I think there is some apprehension as to what this word restructuring really and truly means.
“Another word for restructuring is re-organization. Let us reorganise and readjust our structure within the context of one united Nigeria.
“This conversation about restructuring is not to the detriment of a united Nigeria. As a matter of fact, those who are making a case for restructuring are believers in a united Nigeria.
“They want to make the country more stable, more balanced, equitable and be able to survive that test of time. For the call is made in good faith. All that is required is for leadership is to rise to the occasion, not to indulge any kind of blame games.
“Not for some leaders to be preaching disunity, hatred, calling out war drums, calling out war dogs, we don’t need all of that because as the Acting President rightly said, if violence or any situation rises, we don’t know how it will end.”
