Adebanjo faults Osinbajo on restructuring

Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has faulted Acting President Yemi Osinabjo for describing those agitating for restructuring of Nigeria as political jobbers. Speaking to journalists yesterday after the Southern Leaders Forum meeting in Lagos, Adebanjo said it was unfortunate for Osinbajo to have said those championing the call for restructuring were looking for appointments.
He said: “That is a very unfortunate statement. I won’t like it to appear as if we are attacking our Acting president. The Acting President was born on the principle of restructuring. Myself and his father were followers of Obafemi Awolowo since the 1950s. “He cannot say we are looking for appointment. Is it me or Horsfall or General Ike Nwachukwu?
It just shows someone in position, but who does not understand the problem of the people he is leading. It is an unfortunate statement to make. “I am not going to engage in any brickbat with him. It shows the limit of his know edge of how the country came together. I think he should know better. He is not only a lawyer; he has been an Attorney-General and Vice President. “What we are asking for now, he fought for it when he was Lagos State Attorney-General when former President Olusegun Obasanjo deprived Lagos State entitlements of local governments. I don’t know what has become of him now. It is unfortunate.”
