Leader of the Pan-Yoruba Socio-Cultural Organisation, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has said there will be no 2023 if President Muhammadu Buhari fails to restructure Nigeria.
“There is no 2023 in my own diary. Get that straight. If he does not restructure, that is the end of Nigeria. He must restructure this country before any election.
Adebanjo who stated this in an interview with The Nigerian Tribune, added: “He (Buhari) can’t keep this country together under this obnoxious constitution. Who is he deceiving? He controls the court. He controls the tribunal.
“He rigs the election and heads to the tribunal and the Supreme Court which he dictates to.”
According to him, Afenifere once supported Buhari because he promised to restructure, but Buhari had now failed to keep his promise..
“I have no personal grudge against Buhari. The military, who gave us the constitution, have gone back to their barracks. I want you to emphasise this: for some of the misguided intelligentsia among them and among our people, I have repeatedly said that this constitution is a fraudulent document.
“The military made it (the current constitution) in 1999. They have not rebutted that. I have said it publicly that if Buhari truly loves this country, why is he opposed to restructuring? Why is he hesitant? It is this restructuring that our founding fathers: the Sardauna, Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, Aminu, Oyibo Ojigwe, all agreed to at independence in 1960.
“Is Buhari more Fulani than the Sardauna? Is he more intelligent than our founding fathers? I even challenged Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, who are defending all the nonsense the government is doing.
“The confusion in this country today is because the people refused to address the issue we are talking about. When we said they are more corrupt, it is not a case of just blackmailing them,” the Afenifere leader declared.
