In
the address of Mr. Adams he said “I supported the view that we have graduated
from restructuring to self determination but the main powerful region is not
ready. This has been the agitation of the Yoruba leaders. If this country
refuse to restructure in threethe years to come, her future is not too clear.
There are various formsschool'structuring: so the country should know the right
one to practice. If Nigeria want to restructure, we have to learn from 1960 and
1963 which allowed regional governance. During the Late Sani Abacha government
he allowed the six zones to develop at their own will. My own is self determination
you prepare for negotiation”.
