The Presidency has said that it will not take decision out of pressure following call by advocates of restructuring of Nigeria.
Specifically, it warned that the presidency will not succumb to threats, saying “such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted”.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu made this known in a statement Sunday night.
“This is to warn that such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted as this government will not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time when the nation’s full attention is needed to deal with the security challenges facing it at a time of the COVID-19 health crisis.
“This administration will not take any decision against the interests of 200 million Nigerians, who are the President’s first responsibility under the constitution, out of fear or threats especially in this hour of health crisis.
“The President as an elected leader under this constitution will continue to work with patriotic Nigerians, through and in line with the Parliamentary processes to finding solutions to structural and other impediments to the growth and wellbeing of the nation and its people.”
It would be recalled that there has been renewed agitation for restructuring of Nigeria by some individuals and group recently.
