Since the beginning of Nigeria’s fourth republic in 1999, the public sphere has been inundated with calls for restructuring of the Nigerian state accompanied by a dint of affirmation and denial about the health of the polity. Remarkably, however, there have been a couple of state-led efforts to remedy the contradictions besetting the Nigerian state.
The above political conversations are the pre-occupation of Salisu Yekini’s Federalism, Revenue Allocation and Restructuring in Nigeria: A Historical Perspective. The book is organised into eleven chapters, each of which engages with an aspect of the federalism question. Chapter one focuses in three short sections on the meaning of federalism.
Chapter three is about the federal debate and harnesses the divergent views on federalism, both theory and praxis, in the context of Nigeria’s multiple contradictions. They are the views of renowned Nigerian public intellectuals, statesmen, and editorials, namely, professors, Jonah Isawa Elaigwu, Akin Oyebode, Itse Sagay, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Dr. Gbenga Ojo, Atiku Abubakar, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Odilim Enwegbara, and The Guardian.
The core definitional features of federalism, namely, Latin origin, power relations, coordinacy, democratic principles, management of diversity, legal relationship, mutual recognition of frontiers and power, and the desire for cooperation are illuminated.
