FLASHBACK: ‘To Hell With Restructuring’ – Shettima [Video]

Former Governor of Borno State and vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, has condemned those clamouring for restructuring.

Shettima also stated that the clamour for restructuring can be addressed by providing good governance, saying “to hell with restructuring.”

He made this known at the book launch of a former Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Bolaji Abdullahi, on November 30, 2017. The event was held at the Yar’Adua Centre in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Shettima said that if jobs are provided and other sectors of the economy, especially the education sector are developed, the clamour for restructuring will stop.

“People are talking about artificial intelligence, other nations are talking about nano technology or robotics engineering but unfortunately, the topical issue in Nigeria is restructuring. Restructuring my foot! To hell with restructuring.

“Let us improve on governance, let us work for the people, invest in education, create jobs for our people, this madness will stop,” he said.

Several Nigerians including ethnic organisations like the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Afenifere have demanded the restructuring of Nigeria, saying it was the way to resolve many of the challenges facing the country.

Naija News recalls that based on the clamour, the ruling APC set up a committee headed by Governor Nasir El-rufai of Kaduna State to review the various restructuring calls.
