The former Vice president recalled that existing socio-economic developments were put in place when regions controlled their resources.
“When we are talking about restructuring by Executive Order, in the first six months, this country will not be what you are seeing today.
“This has been worked out and I’m just waiting to be sworn in on May 29 and the plans will be rolled out.”
He said that Nigeria was a great country, adding that all that it required was good leadership.
“We will provide that kind of leadership,” he declared.
