Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, yesterday, again called for restructuring of the country, saying it would end the nation’s culture of do-or-die politics.
He said for Nigeria to overcome its present challenges and move forward, there was the need for restructuring of Nigeria’s governance architecture.
Anyaoku spoke as the chairman of the 14th annual The Sun Awards held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He said restructuring would lead positively to the stability of the nation and stressed that doing so would bring to an end the current do-or-die mindset of politicians to control all the political structures in the country.
His words: “Nigeria will not realise its full potentials and overcome its present major challenges unless and until it restructures its governance architecture.”
Anyaoku expressed confidence that changing the landscape of Nigeria’s political system would usher in the much-desired economic development across the country.
He extolled The Sun for instituting the annual award, saying that it was one of the company’s finest ways of contributing its own quota to the promotion of progressive values in Nigeria. He described the awardees as Nigerians of great distinction that deserved to be honoured. He praised them for displaying sincerity and hard work in their chosen fields.
