Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Erstwhile Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has informed that the general consensus at the summit on restructuring held at Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan on Thursday, with unprecedented presence of Eastern brothers is not for secession but for the progress and development of the country.
Otunba Daniel in his speech at the occasion admitted that the summit marked a watershed in the history of Nigeria’s political evolution, as people from all walks of life were ably represented and spoke with one voice.
It was clear that the cry for proper restructuring of our dear country is an idea whose time has come.
He reminded that the last constitutional conference inspired by the last PDP administration should have been the first step towards constitutional conference and restructuring by extension, if it had been embraced, he said.
Gbenga said the massive presence of easterners at the summit signal the most desired handshake across the Benue propounded several years ago by our late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
He therefore thanked them for their solidarity”.
The former governor reiterated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stands firmly by the aspirations of our people today which incidentally have become a national agenda”.
