Independence speech: Buhari is confused – Afenifere

Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere has described President Buhari as a ‘confused man’ following his stance on the call for restructuring, PoliticsNGR has learned.
The president on Sunday, in his independence speech, condemned those calling for the restructuring of Nigeria, adding that irresponsible groups have hijacked the restructuring debate.

In a swift reaction, the National publicity secretary of the group, Yinka Odumakin pointed out that the president was confusing the calls for restructuring with the agitations for secession.

Odumakin told punch; “Buhari is indirectly promoting those working for the break-up of Nigeria by ignoring the demands of Nigerians for restructuring.

He should separate those agitating for restructuring from those calling for a break-up of the country. I think he is confusing restructuring with break-up.

Those calling for restructuring are those working to avert the breakup of Nigeria while those opposed to it are the ones working for the break-up of the country.

Let the President deal with restructuring; if he does not listen to the agitation for restructuring, he is promoting those who are working for the break-up of the country.”
