As reactions continue to trail Nigerian Senate President’s anti-restructuring comment, member representing Afikpo North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Igariwey Iduma Enwo said, Ohanaeze Ndigbo overreacted by calling for Lawan’s resignation or sack.
In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST in Abuja on Wednesday, the lawmaker maintained that the Senate President, like every other Nigerian has his personal opinion to express.
He said that Lawan’s comment about restructuring was his personal opinion that doesn’t reflect the position of Nigeria’s parliament in any way.
Lawan, while reacting to Southern governors’ demand for the restructuring of the nation and ban on open grazing tongue lashed the governors for the demand, saying as elected leaders, they shouldn’t have said so.
