PDP faults President’s rejection of restructuring
By Modupe Shodeinde
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s rejection of calls for restructuring as unacceptable and an attack on the people’s rights.
In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, Nigerians have every right to demand constitutional restructuring as well as a democratic forum to deliberate on good governance and national cohesion.
The party noted that demands for restructuring demands are neither synonymous nor contiguous to warfare.
Also it noted that the quest for an efficient local government system as well as an effectual judiciary could only be achieved through a constitutional restructuring that directly confers and vests the required powers and control to them.
“In as much as the PDP holds the unity and indivisibility of our nation as supreme, our party, however, supports amendments that will alter the 1999 Constitution (as amended) in any manner that will engender good governance and reinforce, rather than detract from her unity, peace, equity and stability” the party further said.
