Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and PDP presidential candidate, announced on Wednesday that a draft amendment bill for the restructuring of Nigeria is complete and will be introduced to the National Assembly on the first day of the 10th Assembly’s session, next year, as an executive bill.

Despite his decision to withhold the paper for the time being, Alhaji Abubakar added that Nigerians should rest easy knowing that topics like resource control, which is still a hot topic in the restructuring debate, as well as devolution and state police, are in the works.

The PDP presidential candidate explained that both the amendment bill and his five-point agenda, which he dubbed “My Covenant With Nigerians,” are the results of extensive consultation and expert advice in his Wednesday address to members of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, NGE, at the Marriot Hotel in Lagos.

He claimed to have put together a group of professionals with whom he had a series of meetings to brainstorm ideas for Nigeria’s return to greatness.
