Biafra: Reps bow to pressure, set to address calls for restructuring

The Majority Leader, House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila (Lagos-APC), says the house will address the calls for the restructuring of the country.

Gbajabiamila made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

The lawmaker, who frowned at the approach adopted by some groups to press home their demands, said the unity and stability of the country could not be compromised.

“This is a matter the house will address very soon and we are all concerned and we cannot bury our heads in the sand (and pretend nothing is going on around us) like the proverbial ostrich (would do).

“The National Assembly as an institution has a role to play on the issue of whether you want to call it restructuring or reengineering – however you want to describe it.

“And very soon national assembly will come up with a position.

“We are discussing it, we are talking with stakeholders behind the scenes and it will be tabled at some point hopefully before we go for another break,’’ Gbajabiamila said.
