The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, John Oyegun, has said the ruling party never promised to restructure Nigeria during the 2015 elections.
Oyegun said they were aware of the contentious nature of restructuring and therefore avoided it when putting together the manifesto.
The PDP national chairman made this known in an interview he had with Channels Television on early morning show, Sunrise Daily.

“We have stated clearly what we want to do, devolution and true federalism. We really avoided the word restructuring because it means so many things to so many people.
“we are coming to that but our priority for now, for today is to fix the economy and restore hope, provide jobs to the teaming millions of our youths in all over the country. So it is a matter of priority.
“It is very specific on the manifesto and we are not going to renege on it, no question about that. It is a matter of time.”
