CONCERNED about the task ahead of the President-elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, especially in his pledge to combat corruption, members of Pro National Conference Organisation, (PRONACO) have cautioned that the good intention and integrity of Buhari may be compromised by the present constitutional structure if a constituent assembly is not set up to restructure the polity.
The group, while congratulating the President-elect yesterday said that, “Buhari was personally inducted as the peoples’ General into the movement’s restructuring agenda by late Chief Anthony Enahoro on 12 June 2006.”
The spokesperson of PRONACO, Chief Olawale Okunniyi, said in a statement that, “he should note his discussions with the late sage in 2006 on federalism and restructuring Nigeria in ensuring there is no alibi of constitutional and structural obstacles to his anti corruption agenda.”
Okunniyi also argued that “members of Enahoro political family, who stood firmly by Buhari to pivot his political movement in the CPC and later the APC will be proud to see him hit the ground running and taking the bull by the horn to ensure drastic whittling down of Nigeria’s governance structure and paraphernalia through a popular constitutional restructuring.”
