Sokoto State governor and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aminu Tambuwal, has blamed former President, Goodluck Jonathan, for not allowing the amendment of the country’s constitution for restructuring before he left office.
According to him, Jonathan should have allowed the proper reform of the electoral system.
Tambuwal said this on Thursday in Akure, the Ondo state capital, while canvassing votes from the delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of its presidential primary.
Tambuwal, who was a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, noted that the various challenges currently crippling the country would have been averted if Nigeria had been restructured.
He said, “I understand the debate about restructuring, the fiscal federalism, and the devolution of power. I know all of these issues and understand them very well.
“As Speaker of the House of Representatives, we attempted but unfortunately former President Goodluck Jonathan did not sign that constitutional amendment that could have possibly address some of these challenges being raised in terms of restructuring, devolution of power among others.”
He added that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, had no road map for the progress of the country since its inception.
