Okupe , expressing his position in an interview with the News Agency on Sunday, described the Federal Government’s legal battle against the states for autonomy as needless and unfortunate. The former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct National Republican Convention, NRC, noted that in a true federal system, there are only two component units- the federal and the states.
He said, 'Let the nation’s money be shared between the Federal government and the states. The Federal government asking for local government autonomy in a federal system is an aberration. It is becoming so sad that we seem not to know what is right and what is wrong in the country.' Okupe said the state government could decide to have as many local governments as it desires for grassroots development and fund it as it likes.
