The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, while fielding questions from State House correspondents in Abuja on Thursday, said he was not against those calling for restructuring but elected officials must not be among those advocating for such calls.
In his words, "But I want to advice here, I believe that as leaders those of us who were elected must not be at the forefront of calling for this kind of thing because even if you are a governor you are supposed to be working hard in your state to ensure that this restructuring you are calling for at the federal level you have done it in your state as well."
He also called for oneness among Nigerians and linked the insecurity the country is expressing to a lack of "functional local government system".
