The report of the conference which took place in 2014 has the hailed to contain the solution to some of the country’s problem with much emphasis on restructuring which is believed will pave the way for better growth for each region.
According to NAN, “The former president, who described such conferences as distractions, said he did not bother to read the report of the last one organised by former President Goodluck Jonathan.”
President Muhammadu Buhari also said the report was in an archive and that he has not touched it yet.
Obasanjo also failed to comment on the issue of restructuring the country describing those calling for the break-up of the country as motivated by greed.
“We Nigerians need ourselves and if anyone thinks he does not need another person, good luck to him.
“What I see in all those groups trying to break away is that they want more of the national cake.”
