The NCFront assembled a galaxy of stars in the mould of the Rotimi Williams’ Panel of 1978. In a subtle attempt to generate spark, some of the biggest names in the firmament of Nigerian polity were paraded.
Nigeria must restructure or face disastrous break-up –Utomi, others
OLUFEMI OLANIYI
Prominent stakeholders from various ethnic groups in the North and the South have decried the security situation in the country, describing Nigeria as a failing state or an already failed nation.
The leaders, including a foremost economist, Prof. Pat Utomi; former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Mailafia Obadiah, who contested the 2019 presidential election on the platform of the African Democratic Congress; Senator Bassey Henshaw; Niger-Delta activist, Ann-Kio Briggs; Yemi Adamolekun, among others, said Nigeria should be restructured.
They were unanimous that the situation would be very disastrous if Nigeria was allowed to break without restructuring it.
