The president of the Governors ‘Forum of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP-GF), Aminu Tambuwal, has said that Nigeria must embrace restructuring to survive.
Tambuwal, who is also the governor of Sokoto state, added that Nigeria must also embrace technology to address insecurity, unemployment and other problems facing the country.
He affirmed this in his remarks at a two-day PPD National Retreat on the theme: “It is time to rescue Nigeria,” which was held in Abuja on Tuesday.
“Nigeria must restructure its politics, economy, security and ways of doing things. It must embrace relative autonomy and decentralization of power.
“This will unleash the energies of our people, especially the youth. It is time to allow Nigeria to flourish. It is feasible with all hands at work.
“Second, we must embrace innovation and technology as a way of life. Technology will solve the youth unemployment time bomb.
“Technology will improve our agriculture, health, industrialization, education and, in fact, it has implications and impacts on all facets of our lives.
“It is in this sense that we continue to condemn the Twitter ban as a regressive action that should never have happened,” Tambuwal said.
He added that the PDP remained the only credible alternative to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and could not afford to fail Nigerians.
“We must keep hope alive. We can do it. Yes, we can, as Obama would say.
