Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State said that Nigeria does not need restructuring: “Our nation requires repackaging. It is unfortunate that a great nation like ours has not been properly packaged for consumption by the international communities.”

“Yet, there are more evils in other nations than we have in Nigeria but the reports going out about our country is such that no one will want to come into Nigerian unless for those who want to take risk. No nation can grow with this arrangement.”

“I want to charge you today, as you meet, think Nigeria and see how you can repackage it. We are not the worst of them all. Every geo-political zone has its own interpretation of restructuring. To the South-East, restructuring means creation of an additional State. For the South-South, restructuring means resource Control. For the South-West, it means devolution of power and the North may see it differently, but whatever is the case, we are better off as a United Nigeria.”

“The ball is in your court to see how you can project Nigeria and repackage it for public and international consumption. Let me say to all of us here that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria is a great nation and will ever remain a great nation.”
