The People’s Progressive Party, at the weekend, said there is the need for all to speak for restructuring as a way of resolving the myriad of problems afflicting the country.
The National Chairman of the party, Dr. Damian U. Ogbonna who spoke after the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party in Abuja, said they were in tune with the call for restructuring which according to him would address issues relating to principles of freedom, decentralizing governance, and ensuring dignity of every individual.
Dr. Ogbonna said that the party was also opened to talks with other political parties to ensure that Nigerians were liberated from the clutches of poverty and deprivation.
He cautioned that Nigeria’s democracy was at risk of being truncated, saying the rule of law had disappeared amidst unending poverty, joblessness and hunger.
“What we have is a cabal willing to poison and destroy the land in pursuit of power to enslave the masses and satisfy their personal goals” he said.
As a way out, Dr. Ogbonna said Nigerians from across the divide must restructure the country to eliminate the concentration of powers at the center.
