Bishop Ezeokafor made this known in his Independence day celebration message to the people of Anambra State and Nigerians at large, He also condemned the spate of hate speeches from different groups in the country.
He said although the country has survived a lot of crisis in the past, restructuring can no longer be wished away.
Restructuring has become a national appeal as we speak, whose time has come. I will strongly advocate for devolution of powers to the extent that more responsibilities be given to the states while the federal government is vested with the responsibility to oversee our foreign policy, defense, and economy.
Even the idea of having federal roads in towns and cities has become outdated and urgently needs revisiting. That means we need to tinker with our constitution to accommodate new thoughts that will strengthen our nationality,” he stated.
Calls For resource control by State Government Bishop Ezeokafor also advocated for the adoption of state resource control policies, saying that the initial fears that state governors will misuse the resources and manpower of the state workforce have become moribund.
Ezeokafor rounded up his message by appealing to Nigerians especially the youth to keep alive the dreams of the nation’s founders insisting that Nigeria has all it takes to lead the African continent by virtue of its population, diversities and sheer determination of its people.
