Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for arguing that Nigeria’s problem is not “restructuring”.
In an article he authored, Abubakar, who is running for president in 2019, said Osinbajo demonstrated “a lack of appreciation of the core tenets of the concept”.
“It is a surprise that the Vice President would take such a position and, in particular, fail to appreciate the connection between Nigeria’s defective structure and its underperformance,” he wrote.
“It is unhelpful to reduce the construct of “Restructuring” to a geographical concept as VP Osinbajo does, which in itself demonstrates a lack of appreciation of the core tenets of the concept.”
In a recent interaction in the United States, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo asserted that the “problem with our country is not a matter of restructuring…and we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into the argument that our problems stem from some geographic re-structuring”.
