‘Only Restructuring’ll Resolve Nigeria’s Political Imbalance’

Former Presidential aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former Governor of Plateau State, Jonah David Jang, has urged Federal Government to provide the enabling environment for Nigerians to “debate restructuring (and) the imbalance in the Constitution”.
He expressed worry that the federal constituencies in the House of Representatives in Kano and Jigawa states are more than the entire South-East, and said until there is restructuring, what he observed as the political imbalance in the country will continue.
Jang made the remarks at a press conference in Jos, yesterday, where he suggested the solution to the ill feelings in the country was for President Muhammadu Buhari to find a way to restructure the country.
“If you look at the creation of states and local governments done by the military, it was the most lopsided thing they have done. If you look at the numbers of local governments in Kano and Jigawa and then look at Bayelsa, or if you want to look at the federal constituencies in Kano and Jigawa in the House of Representatives, they are more than the entire federal constituencies in the South-East,” Jang explained.
