Atiku in his call for restructuring, stressed the need for the devolution of power, that too much power at the centre hurts the country and the north in at least three critical ways: destroying our economy and values as it does elsewhere; putting too much premium on the struggle for power at the centre; creating the false perception that the north benefits from the status quo, thus presenting the north as being responsible for the country’s development challenges
