The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria , Mr. Osita Okechukwu has called on Nigerians to look beyond the frenzy of restructuring as canvassed by the Southern Governors’ summit in Asaba, Delta State.
According to him, giving more powers to Governors will by omission or commission “create Frankenstein Monsters which will put our democracy in harm’s way.” He said, “Whereas one endorsed the Southern Governors communiqué that the progress of the nation requires that urgent and bold steps should be taken to restructure the Nigerian Federation leading to the evolution of state police, review of revenue allocation formula in favour of the sub-national governments and creation of other institutions which legitimately advance our commitment to and practice of true federalism, one is however of the candid view that we need Dual-Restructuring.
“Secondly, we need to devolve relevant powers from the Exclusive Legislative List to States and Local Government Councils.” “Let us introspect and come to the reality that all is not well at the grassroots. For instance in 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed the amendment of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where the State Judiciary and State Legislatures were granted financial autonomy, as foundation for real restructuring.
“Earlier on Parliamentary Workers nationwide were on strike, at huge collateral damage to national development. The question is why didn’t the governors implement the amendment of the Section 121?
