The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has constituted a committee to articulate its position on restructuring of Nigeria as agitations in that regard increases.
The party`s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated in a statement on Wednesday that the decision to raise the committee was part of resolutions reached at a meeting between the party`s National Working Committee (NWC) and governors elected on its platform.
Abdullahi said that with various agitations on restructuring, the concept had assumed several disparate meanings, hence the need for the party to explain its position on it.
According to him, the committee will be headed by Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and has Sen. Olubunmi Adetunmbi as Secretary.
Other members of the committee are Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau and Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun.
The rest are former Governor of Edo, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, APC National Organising Secretary, Sen. Osita Izunaso, APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi and Hajiya Fatima Balla.
Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Gov. Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara said that the APC needed to develop a shared meaning on the subject.
“People have said that the APC promised restructuring, so we need to sit down as a party to develop a shared understanding of what we mean by restructuring in our manifesto, “he said. (NAN)
