An Igbo group in Diaspora, the Igbo World Assembly (IWA), has urged the Federal Government to consider the demand to restructure Nigeria to ensure true federalism or return the country to the 1963 Constitution based on regions or zones respectively.
The group also condemned the Federal Government’s shoot-on-sight order against South-East youths, noting that it was an act of ethnic cleaning and commitment of genocide.
In a keynote address delivered by its Chairman, Dr. Nwachukwu Anakwenze, at Nigeria’s 2023 Presidential Transition Inter-ethnic Peace Dialogue, yesterday, the group said true fiscal federalism would address issues affecting the country.
Anakwenze said that restructuring should be a means of tackling the worsening security situation and the agitation for secession.
