Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has stated that Nigerians will continue to call for a restructuring, even as citizens gear up for the inauguration of the new administration on May 29.
Soyinka said the government of President-Elect, Bola Tinubu, must place a renewed focus on the persistent calls for restructuring the Nigerian federation otherwise its programmes and policies will face serious challenges.
“Whomever it is must understand that the people of this country will not cease demanding a restructuring of this nation,” he stated on Channels TV
“New voices are being heard and they are more powerful than before. They are not just whining voices, they are voices based on actualities. We have failed in so many directions and they are saying, ‘let us try in this direction’ and you cannot ignore it.
“Otherwise, even your economic policies will fail, your infrastructure and transformation will fail. We will just go back threading the same old spur.”
