I Will Okay Restructuring Bill If Passed, Says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday said he would not hesitate to give assent to any amendments to the 1999 Constitution on restructuring.

He spoke when the National Executive of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), led by Prof Benjamin Okaba, visited him at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

On calls for restructuring, the President noted that the National Assembly, whose responsibility it is to amend the constitution, had concluded regional consultations.

“As soon as they finalise the process, necessary action would not be delayed on my part,” he said.

Advocates of restructuring will leave a sigh of relief after yesterday’s comment by the President.
