met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, and presented 11 demands to him. The event was part of a series the organisation held for the major candidates for the 2023 presidential election.

The appearance of some clerics at the unveiling of Mr Shettima equally angered the group. Bayo Oladeji, the spokesperson of former CAN president, disowned the clerics and labelled them ‘fake’. However, it later emerged that they are truly clerics. Therefore, it is not surprising that CAN has opted to heed the counsel of a former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, who had earlier urged CAN to present a charter-of-demands to all presidential candidates, particularly the candidate of the ruling party.

But the Nigerian Labour Congress and the National Union of Local Government Employees are with the lawmakers in opposition to the bill. The position of the union is that state governors, who are prone to owing workers, should not be allowed to be in charge of a police force. Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution simply provides that “the government of the federation or of a states shall not adopt any religion as state religion.”

In his manifesto, Mr Tinubu promised two actions in addressing the imbalance between the federal government and the subnational: Constitutional review and resources allocation. Equitable and enforceable sharing of executive positions, and ethnic and religious representation in military and security agencies

Aside from the CAN, the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, a northern Muslim, recently criticised the lopsidedness in the distribution of the heads of security agencies between the North and South. Often, the crisis is politicized along ethnic and religious lines, hence, solutions are viewed from such a lens. The controversial Rural Grazing Area scheme was rejected by some sections of the country, hence the government introduced the National Livestock Transformation Plan.
