This is coming two days after a federal government delegation met with leaders of the South-South region.

The South-South leaders had demanded the restructuring of Nigeria, in line with the principle of true federalism at the meeting.

Wike said: “We must understand in this country that political leadership is very key. Having the political will to implement what the people want is very serious.

“I don’t want to talk about the issue of distrust or no trust in government. People have raised such issues, that they don’t think that nothing will come out of all this dialogue. I don’t agree with that. I believe that if the president does not do, given the opportunities he has now, then, he will be putting Nigeria on fire.”
