The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has slammed President Muhammad Buhari’s lack of political will to adopt the National Conference Report, which gives room for fiscal federalism.
Tinubu, who aligned himself with the former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku, on the call for the restructuring of Nigeria, faulted Buhari’s calculated attempt to throw the Confab report into the archives.
Tinubu, stated this on Monday, June 20, through his most trusted representative and Chairman, Editorial Board of the Nation Newspaper, Sam Omatseye, in his usual weekly column.
Omatseye, who usually represents Tinubu in some high profile functions, delivers speeches on behalf of the APC National Leader, as well as come in his defense by writing rejoinder, stated this barely 24 hours when the President arrived Nigeria, after spending 14 days in London for medical treatment.
Recall, that Buhari had recently said that he has consigned the Confab report to the trashcan, saying that his administration will not bother to look into the report.
Condemning Buhari’s utterance, Tinubu said; “The Governors clasp bowl in their hands every month, to the counterfeit mercies of the center.
“The APC highlighted this in the course of the campaign. For all its tendentious politics, the conference in the twilight of the Jonathan era, afforded a platform for more robust dialogue.
“It was therefore, a historic error that Buhari tossed it into the archives. That big, dark vault of nothingness called archives. The time will come, when we shall build a museum of suggestions, paradigms and solutions ignored generation after generation. All the ceremonies, tea breaks, lunches, deliberations, perorations, communiqués and tomes of recommendations turn into ashes in a bonfire of time,” he stated.
He maintained that, it is a waste of scarce resources, and contempt for ideas, for Buhari to discard the report spearheaded by former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
“If Buhari ignores the call to restructure Nigeria, it will haunt him, as he tackles our lopsided being. I expect the call to increase in its stridency in the coming months.
“The National Assembly lacks the courage, or even the depth to push it. This new restructuring fever might be another fight in futility”.
While criticising Buhari’s hostility to new ideas, he maintained that the cries for restructuring, may make the country a “catacomb of echoes, room after room, relaying the same calls. But the audiences are dead, with worse than ear infections”.
Drawing a conclusion, angry Tinubu said: “I am for restructuring. The federal system sits a centre like a leviathan in shallow waters, ponderous, stuck and “swimless,” and at the mercy of the nibbling rapacity of a swarm of small fishes.
“We cannot sustain a system where the centre owns over half of our money, our power, our morality, our constitution. It is a garishly decorated monarchy, a throwback to our monarchical and feudal loyalties with a despotic shadow of our military past”.

It is now crystal clear that Nigeria as a nation has two options: is either we go back to true federalism or we divide

I'm forced to ask you if you had any reasonable education, no pun intended?

If you did and you can reason, then you would know that Sam Omatseye as you already stated writes a weekly column.

So how does a weekly column by Sam Omatseye who is editor in chief of The Nation, Tinubu's newspaper, represent a quoted opinion of Tinubu? Does he also double as media aide or spokesman of Tinubu?

When exactly did intelligence depart from Nigerian kids?

It would be a shame if you are an adult, so I'lld adhere to calling you a kid knowing there's still a redemption in sight.

Although the source is still a suspect, let me echo my sentiment. We have basically two opinions on how to move this country forward: we have the advocates of anti-corruption as the sole elixir for Nigeria's problems, while the second group consists of advocates of fiscal federalism. Unfortunately, the former is majorly made up of northerners like our President. Believe it or not, it would be hard for a northern President to restructure this country on the principles of fiscal federalism. Don't be deceived, even Atiku won't implement it if he should be made President. They won't change a system that rewards population, equality and landmass!

PMB is not good as a president but he can perform excellently well as EFCC, ICPC or DSS boss.
PMB is bereaved of ideas on how to run the economy and he finds it very difficult trusting people.
Credible or not credible source, this piece is one PMB needs to consider instead of running the country like a polygamous northern household

We are expecting all the Eldorado campaign promises of APC buhari.

Very true.

Let's collapse Nigeria and say goodbye to each other since corruption can't be defeated and true federalism adopted.

really/?

Aligned!

Tinubu be like

Nonsense APC government

Bad belle people too much, una sure say una go church today.

What is wrong with Nigerians? How did we get here? Is the source more important than the issue raised? Why are people more interested in non-issues than the very essentials? This fiscal federalism subject - does it not make sense? Won't it help this country to become a nation? The rate at which we chase shadows in this country ehhh!

we yoruba muslims disagree with restructuring. We will continue to want the fulanis to keep power 100% so that they can establish their grazing reserves and emirates in Osun and Oyo. We will help them remove peter fayose and put a yoruba muslim Gomina with a big Emirate. Insha Allah!

Where's this lie coming from? Tinubu never believed in the confab just like BUHARI.
