Calls for the restructuring of the country resounded again yesterday as Nigerians reacted to today’s maiden celebration of June 12 as Democracy Day. Former Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku noted that if Nigeria “is to face its serious current challenges effectively, it has to restructure its governance system. If we had continued with that constitution, Nigeria, by now, would have been in a much developed and in a better state than we have now. Adams further expressed joy that part of the dreams of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) under his leadership was realised with the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day. Otherwise, what we call Democracy Day or June 12 is a ‘419 democracy and recognition’.
