Former Vice-President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential hopeful, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is billed to address the issue of restructuring next weekend, using the Hall of Grace (HoG) awards platform.

A former Minister of Information, Chief Alex Akinyele disclosed this to the media on Thursday.

Akinyele, also the Grand Custodian of the Hall of Grace Awards, said: “I have personally signed off and approved the fact that Atiku should speak to Nigerians through the platform of the HoG Awards  to be held on June 24, 2018, in Lagos.

“There is need for every well-meaning Nigerian to support restructuring our country. We believe that the present structure isn’t working the way we all expect it to. There is the urgent need to do this debate and make all Nigerians understand how restructuring will work, particularly our brothers and sisters from the North.

On why the Organisation chose the former Vice-President to speak on the issue, Akinyele said: "At HoG, we believe in sincerity. We have looked at those clamouring for restructuring and we have seen that the former Vice President is perhaps the most sincere."

He has been clamouring for this even when he was in the ruling APC. He didn’t care whether he was on the saddle as president or not but he kept on clamouring that the APC shouldn’t jettison restructuring. 

Atiku has been very sincere. He isn’t using restructuring for politics. He appears to be calling for it because of patriotism and that is why he will be addressing the country on restructuring at the HoG Awards 8th Annual Session.

The event will holds on June 24. Distinguished Nigerians like Atiku Abubakar, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Bukola Saraki, Ben Bruce and Shehu Sani will be honoured at the awards ceremony holding in Ikeja.
