Opinion: ‘Ruga’ Not Rugged Enough, By Banji Ojewale

. Why uproot one culture and plant it in a strange soil? The Buhari administration has disowned constitutional federalism by going for policies giving birth to suffocating centralism, uniformity and unilateral imposition. Federalism gains strength only when its diversities are acknowledged and respected and given depth by preserving them, not by killing them through domination of others in the union.

President Buhari must review his stand on Ruga as it is built mainly to benefit the herdsmen with no advantage to their hosts. He should be worried that even at takeoff, the scheme can’t stand the simple test of acceptability in the hands of those who are key to its success.
