Chief Ayo Adebanjo, one of the leaders of Afenifere, has said that it is only restructuring that can stop the call for secession by Sunday Igboho and others.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Saturday, April 3, told journalists in his hometown in Yobe that elites in Nigeria were behind the plot to divide the country.

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, said Nigerian governors are enmeshed in a “centralised mentality”, adding that “they are afraid to come out of their cocoons”.

Abdulsalami Abubakar has warned that Nigeria could disintegrate if the security challenges currently witnessed in many parts of the country are not curtailed.

Atiku Abubakar, former vice president and PDP chieftain maintained that it is through restructuring some of the country's "foundational issues" can be resolved.
