A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Ogun state, Olusegun Osoba has said those compelling President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the country are ignorant of the limitations of the President in a democratic setting.
According to Osoba who met with President Buhari on Wednesday, at the Presidential Villa, to present copies of his new book ‘Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics’, the National Assembly held the key to restructuring.
He said though the APC constituted a committee where thorny issues of how power devolution, true federalism could operate, recommendations contained in the report was yet to be transmitted to the National Assembly.
Osoba said, “I have said it, I am one of the founders of APC, I would not discuss in details because I have access, I am part of the presidency because the President is our President. But I can tell you, all this noise about restructuring, we APC put devolution of power, true federalism in our manifesto and we’ve moved far from there to where a committee was set up headed by the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai.
