President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to address reported cases of illegal sale of land donated to the Nigeria Army by communities across Nigeria even as he suggested that those clamouring for the restructuring of Nigeria have ulterior motive.

He made this known when he received traditional rulers and opinion leaders from the Urhobo Progress Union at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.

The President said the alleged sale of the donated land meant for the military authorities across the country would not be tolerated.

He vowed to ensure anyone caught or implicated in the deal is prosecuted accordingly.

“I have taken note of the representation that the land the community gave to the military is being sold. You are not the first set of people to make this kind of representation, other parts of the country made similar representation,” he said.

“So, by this representation I’m constrained to call on the relevant ministries to check the Ministries of Defence and Internal Affairs to find out those responsible for abusing the generosity you extended to the military will be brought to book.

“I assure you of that.”

With regard to the calls for restructuring of Nigeria, Buhari said views being expressed for were uncoordinated, adding that such clamours may not also be backed by the country’s Constitution.

“You mentioned something which is being topical these days, the question of restructuring Nigeria, and every person or every group asking for restructuring they have got their own agenda,” he added.

“I hope it can be accommodated by the constitution we are currently operating.’’
