Elder statesman, Prof Ben Nwabueze has said the people of the South East need a restructured Nigerian rather than the Presidency.
Nwabueze, a constitutional lawyer said restructuring is the primary need of Igbos.
There have a clamour for the Presidency by Igbos after the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Nwabueze was quoted to have said “The primary need of Ndigbo now is restructuring not Igbo presidency. We want a restructured Nigeria because that is the only way we get what we want, and every zone would be satisfied. If Nigeria is restructured, that will go a long way to satisfy our demands.
“We don’t want Igbo presidency. As the country is today we cannot get anything until Nigeria is restructured. We can begin to talk about Igbo presidency only when Nigeria is restructured,” Nwabueze further said.
