In this interview with The Telegraph, he spoke on the issues of agitation and restructuring.
When asked by the interviewer, What he think, of how to tackle the issue of restructuring in Nigeria...
He said; In the last 30 years, the world has witnessed some movements
which Nigeria cannot be immune from. The Soviet Union broke into several
parts. Czechoslovakia also broke into several countries that are
thriving and are succeeding. In some places, the people have come
together.
The United Kingdom recently voted to exit from the European Union (EU).
You know that political systems evolve, the evolution involves changing
forms and characters bring new factors and removing some factors.
Why should anyone say that Nigeria cannot reform itself or restructure
itself? If the Biafrans want to go, let them go. We should do a
referendum. Anyone that wants to go, let them go. If the Niger Delta
wants to go, let them go. If the North wants to go, let them go. It is
their right.
We are living in the era of human rights where people decide where they
want to live, where they want to associate. I assure you that the way
the world is moving, people will decide how they want to live.
People will decide and there is nobody that can stop it. So, the best
thing and the most peaceful thing, is what they did in Czechoslovakia,
where they sat and decided they were going to move apart and tomorrow
they can decide to say we want to come together again, because that is
how human beings are.
You want to do something today, you are crazy for it, tomorrow you
discover that what you are crazy for, you don’t like it, you want to
come back. So, our system must be such that we should be able to
associate and disassociate. I don’t think that stopping the
restructuring is a good thing.
