"...who would have thought that our country would become a haven for kidnappers and all manner of bandits to the extent that their nefarious activities would become a major industry?
”They have been allowed to operate so openly and brazenly that it would surprise no one if they applied for registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission and listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
“These are among the clearest evidence that the issues that were the focal point of the book that brought us here more than five years ago have become even worse.”

Going forward, the Peoples Democratic Party bigwig suggested that restructuring is the best way to bring about sustainable development in light of current happenings.

He stated:

"In my view, we must restructure our country in a manner that allows various segments to develop at their own pace and not be held back by the centre or other segments.”
