Nigeria Needs Resource Control Not Geographical Restructuring – Ahamba
By Ogbolu George
Constitutional lawyer Mike Ahamba (SAN) has said the country does not need geographical restructuring but resource control in order to survive its current challenges.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri, Ahamba said the problem of Nigeria was due to its transition from a country of production to distribution.
”There are several types of restructuring. One can be territorial restructuring, devolution of powers restructuring while another one is economic restructuring and the most important is the resource control restructuring.
”The one that is causing trouble, as far as I am concerned is not the geographical restructuring or other restructuring but the resource control restructuring.
”I think Nigerians should tell themselves the truth that we are living in breach of the constitution.
”The agreement we made before we decided to stay together as one country is being breached. I will like to recall that, when we decided to stay together as one Nigeria, we said we will live on production.
”When the military came in, they reversed it to distribution instead of production, we ab initio agreed upon,” he said.
