Former Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has verbally attacked former Military President General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida for supporting restructuring.
IBB had thrown his weight behind the growing call for the restructuring of the country in a recent statement released by the ex-President.

Oshiomhole on Thursday at the 5th Triennial Delegates Conference of the Petroleum And Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) in Abuja, hit out at IBB saying it was not appropriate for the former military leader to take such position on issues of restructuring.
The former governor who was represented at the occasion by the General Secretary of the National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers, Comrade Issa Aremu said, “The discussion now is about restructuring and I think those of us in the Labour circle must be careful about some words. I heard Babangida talking about restructuring. Although he could have been converted, this is a man under whose tenure the cabinet was dissolved and for almost a month, he was alone, ruling the country.
“I thought that he should have apologised to the whole country, but there is nothing like that from him. But it is now fashionable for him to talk about restructuring. It was under him that the economy was restructured. He devalued the currency and downsized workers. It is important that we prioritise these terms.”
