Nigeria owes this region the urgent activation of the pragmatic approach to restructuring.“This approach will see the zone progressively obtaining autonomy over these resources such that it can house a cluster of refineries and petrochemical industries.”Earlier in 2018, Bakare announced that God instructed him to run president but he did not specify whether he would run in 2019.Tunde Bakare also spoke about the letter written by the former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday January 23, 2018, where he accused Buhari of nepotism, urging him not to seek re-election in 2019.
