SAN FRANCISCO, December 10, (THEWILL) – The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has stressed that the ruling party was not opposed to restructuring the country while the matter was being taken more seriously.
Speaking on the sideline of the Electoral Reform Conference, which held in Abuja, the call for restructuring of the country was revealed to have the support from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“This government, the APC led government is not against restructuring,” Senator Omo-Agege told Channels Television.
He added, “A couple of days ago, I believe I read the release from the Villa; that release represents the view of the APC.”
The lawmaker insisted that his party was not opposed to restructuring, stressing that the Committee on Constitution Amendment would be considering the report of the committee led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State.
“The APC supports restructuring and indeed, the restructuring committee that was put in place headed by Governor El-Rufai came up with some very significant recommendations.
“Those recommendations represent the views of the party. We are going to be taking that into account as we proceed with the exercise,” Senator Omo-Agege stated.
The event put together by the Civil Society Elections Situation Room was attended by top officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), representative of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), and members of the civil society.
