Go to court if you want restructuring, Osinbajo tells Nigerians

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged Nigerians who are agitating for change in the nation’s system of government to approach a competent court of law, if truly they want the restructuring of the country.

Osinbajo disclosed this on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo state at the 80th birthday celebration of a former governor of Osun state, Chief Bisi Akande.

Speaking on the theme: “Nigeria: Achieving National Unity Through Peaceful Restructuring,” Prof. Osinbajo faulted the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who is promising to restructure Nigeria if elected.

The Vice President claimed that Atiku and the then government of PDP vehemently opposed restructuring when the former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu introduced it in 1999.

Dignitaries who graced the event include the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, governors Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Nasiru El-Rufai, Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo) Gboyega Oyetola (Osun), the deputy governor of Lagos state, Idiat Oluranti Adebule, and Senator Biyi Durojaye, among others.
