Alhaji Abubakar Tsav
Former Lagos state police commissioner Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has said that people agitating for Biafra may not even be there if the dream comes into existence.
Tsav, who is currently the Commissioner, Public Complaints Commission in charge of Benue state, said this in an interview with The Sun.
While speaking on the state of the country, Tsav insisted that there is no need to restructure the country because the different parts of the country have been together for a long time.

He also believes that restructuring will probably pose a lot of challenges to everybody.
President Buhari
“You see, if we say we must restructure this country or divide it so to say, so that every component part should go, we may not be at peace for a very long time because we have intermarried and made friends from many places and many people are living in other places other than their places of origin.
“If we agree to restructuring, then we might have to say everybody should return back to his or her place and that may be the beginning of war amongst us.

“Those who are saying these are the same set of people who are agitating for states. They
“Even those who are today crying for Biafra, they may not even be there if in the end, the Biafra comes into existence. I think God created Nigeria the way it is and I know that God does not make mistakes,” he said.
Going further, Tsav said that fighting corruption must be holistically done if something beneficial is to come out of it. He added that Nigerians must be determined to eradicate it.
He added: “Buhari may fight corruption but the fear we have in our minds is that even if he stays for eight years, the corrupt politicians would sit back and watch so that by the time he finally leaves, corruption will come back more aggressively.

“What we need is determination from our minds to stop this act of corruption. And in that case, let us vote for people who will solve the problems of this country.
“Let us not vote on party basis because that had failed us. As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between the APC and the PDP. To me, the only difference between the two parties is Buhari.
“This is because those who are in APC today were in PDP and some of them rose to prominence through the PDP. But because the APC is in government today, all of them have gone to the APC. If tomorrow, a new party comes and is able to win election, all of them will leave APC and go to the new party because Nigerians are very inconsistent. If you rely on Nigerians, you are wasting your time.”
