The posthumous birthday of the great Cicero, Chief Bola Ige, was celebrated on September 13, 2021. He was born September 13, 1930. I dug into my video archives and what I discovered nearly brought tears to my eyes.
In one of those videos I unearthed, the late orator spoke passionately for 90 minutes in Atlanta about his intention to restructure the domineering Nigerian state the right way through regional autonomy. He continued: “For heaven’s sake, were powers devolved to the regions in Nigeria today, would the Yoruba nation be the only one to benefit? Shall the Ogoni, Edo, Urhobo, Efik, Igbo, Kanuri, Tiv not benefit from getting away from the overbearing federal might? Shall the Tiv, Fulani, Kanuri not be able to marshal local strategies to issues in their locality? Is that not what federalism is about?”
Though he might have made some error of judgement during the Alliance for Democracy primary election ticket tussle with Chief Olu Falae, Chief Ige stood out as the voice of reasoning and restructuring. He lived and died for it.
