“It’s not the President that‘ll restructure Nigeria, it’s the National & State Assemblies that can amend the Constitution.”—@MoghaluKingsley on Channels now. Goes on to add that he will lead preparation of Executive Bill in this regard

But I think that 1st point = very important
All of the talk about ‘restructuring’ ultimately boils down to this: it’s a task that will be accomplished in the Legislative chambers and in the courts of the land (laws MUST be tested!)

It’s not something to be done by Executive fiat, as many would like you to believe.
This is also why the quality of legislative representation is very important, especially at NASS. The views of our NASS candidates ON restructuring are just as important (if not more important) as the views of the Presidential candidates. But everyone is fixated on Presidentials.
Exclusive & Concurrent Lists - constitution

Land Use Act - constitution

State Joint Local Government Account System(SJLGAS) - constitution

Even NTYTR required a constitutional amendment.

A million ‘National Confabs’ won’t change the fact that ultimately, NASS decides.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR SENATOR OR HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER THINKS ABOUT RESTRUCTURING? HAVE YOU EVER ASKED OR BOTHERED TO FIND OUT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE VIEWS OF THE 2019 @nassnigeria CANDIDATES ARE?
