Opeyemi Bamidele, the senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, spoke in an interview with journalists, in Abuja.
He said, “As to the need for decentralisation, I remain committed to true federalism and to the need to restructure because it is the way forward. We cannot run away from it.
“Anyone who says he doesn’t believe in it is only pretending or doesn’t have a scientific understanding of what is wrong with our society and what ought to be done.

“There is a difference between what is and what ought to be done. What is right now is a structure partly handed over to us by our colonial masters and being fortified and perpetrated through a constitution given to us by the military. It was like a decree legitimised by an act of parliament.”
Prior to this time, various individuals, social and political organisations have been clamoring for restructuring as the only remedy to Nigeria’s woes. The Igbos in the southeast have been at the forefront of the call for restructuring, with claims that it will help them maximise their talents, natural resources, and man-power well. Some faction of the Yorubas in the South West are also convinced that restructuring is the only way out for Nigeria.
