FORMER President of the Senate and Presidential hopeful on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Senator David Mark said on Sunday that restructuring is an idea whose time has come, adding that his support for the agenda was not an afterthought.
Mark, in s statement by his Media Assistant, Paul Mumeh, declared that he has taken time to listen to the yearning of Nigerians on the restructuring agenda, adding that he would not make promises that cannot be fulfilled.
He also denied insinuations from the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) that he was capitalising on the popular wish, insisting that as a leader who has also aggregated the views of Nigerians, he was of the view that restructuring would pay the nation.
He said: “It is understandable that the APC would accuse me of being a new convert to restructuring in view of their many failed promises to the Nigerian people. I will not make promises like them. My antecedent over the years, especially during my tenure as Senate President, is a testimony that I will always act in the nation’s best interest.”
He declared that his position is anchored on the feedback from Nigerians across the board, adding that as a leader, he has to act in consonance with the wishes of people.
He said: “My experience in the last few years shows that a leader is only effective if he listens to the people. The issues of insecurity and the dwindling economic fortune of Nigeria makes it imperative that something has to be done by way of restructuring.

“Rarely has our country been faced with such a state of uncertainty, despair, suspicion and division. If restructuring is the answer, why not now?
“I am a pan-Nigerian, I believe in the sanctity of our unity. Anything that will unite and prosper Nigeria would be my interest and concern. I believe restructuring is the way to go.
“For once, Nigerians across the geopolitical zones and various ethnic nationalities are of the consensus and indeed united on the subject, restructuring.
“I believe restructuring if anchored on fairness, equity and justice would strengthen our bond of brotherhood and unity. I will always act in the nation’s best interest.
“It is incontrovertible that my eight-year tenure as President of the Senate witnessed stability and unity in the contemporary history of Nigerian politics because we acted in tandem with the wishes and aspirations of the people.”
