<\/p>\nNyam said that the emergence of the former Vice President as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP portends a good sign for Nigeria.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that since Atiku had drawn the attention of Nigerians with the promise to restructure the country, it would be wise if Buhari commences the process now to make the former VP\u2019s campaign slogan irrelevant.<\/p>\n
Speaking with New Telegraph, Nyam also appeal to Buhari to see the need to join the agitation for restructuring.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cI think the emergence of Atiku Abubakar portends good for Nigeria. I must command the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) for conducting a good primary election.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a classical outing for the party, because to a large extent, the primary was free, fair and transparent. But having chosen a candidate (Atiku) who has been clear about his support for restructuring, the party owes Nigerians a duty to see that the vision is realised when they reclaim power.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout action, Atiku has endeared himself to those of us who are agitating for restructuring. This is largely responsible for the support he had gathered so far across the various regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that President Muhammadu Buhari should join the campaign for the restructuring of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should join the leaders of the various socio-cultural organisations, civil society organisations and pressure groups, that have been championing the agitation for several years now.<\/p>\n
\u201cRestructuring is inevitable and I am using this opportunity of Atiku\u2019s emergence to ask Buhari to join the crusade. As a non- partisan politician, I want to appeal to Buhari to see the need to join the agitation for restructuring.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can never be late. In fact, if I were one of his advisers, I would have made him see the essence. He can even kick start the process right away. He can do a turn around and kick start the process in the remaining part of his tenure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he could listen to the cries of Nigerians on the need to secure the release of Leah Sharibu and he put a call across to the girl\u2019s mother, he should be able to respond positively to the cries for restructuring.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all praying that the little girl should be released from Boko Haram\u2019s captivity. As a non- partisan politician, I want to appeal to Buhari, to see the need to join the agitation for restructuring.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
