#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! -DR. DAVID OLUFON.

NIGERIA’S MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS A CURSE – ANATHEMA!
Nigeria did not emerge as a democratic independent nation in 1999 but in 1960!
Through trials and errors, a 1963 Regional Constitution which had a semblance of (cost-effective), Parliamentary System emerged to place the country on strong economic footings.
Those were the days and years of Groundnut Pyramids from the North, (not the propaganda one million Rice Pyramids which General Buhari unveiled in Abuja on Tuesday, 18th January, 2022), in the midst of high inflation, poverty and unbridled reign of INSECURITY!
Also in multiple abundance, were Cocoa Beans (West), Palm Oil/Rubber (East/Mid-West), which were the economic produce trees that fetched strong currencies as foreign exchange revenues for structural developments across the country.
Visible economic buoyancy was pronounced all over the land, such that social vices of crimes/criminalities were very minimal and free movement of goods and services enjoyed commercial patronage by governments/the private sector and virtually all able-bodied adults were all gainfully employed!
Agriculture maintained its rightful place as Nigeria’s main forex earner until soldiers with pre-meditated agenda emerged with barrels of guns and changed the successful narrative of the GREEN LUSCIOUS/ARABLE LAND TO A BLOOD-DRENCHED/LOATHSOME TOPOGRAPHY TILL DATE!
Crude Oil replaced Agriculture, which was discarded as the major national economic source, and for 30 years, the military plundered the nation in the crudest martial aberration and paid lip service to the latter through institutional propaganda code-named “Operation Feed The Nation” or “Green Revolution”, according to their whims and caprices!
IT’S TIME TO DESTROY THE DIARCHY AND CARRY OUR DESTINY TOGETHER!
Diarchy or duumvirate is a form of government characterized by co-rule ie, jointly ruled by military and civilian components lawfully, surreptitiously without the latter’s consent or de facto - by force!
Nigerians need to break the shackles of diarchy which became a way of life from the first coup in 1966 and the only way out is to DISBAND THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THROUGH POPULAR REFERENDUM; INSTITUTE A CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY TO DRAFT A BRAND NEW PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION WHICH WILL EMBODY ALL LEGITIMATE DEMANDS FOR THE NATION’S RESTRUCTURING! THE MILITARY DOES NOT OWN NIGERIA!
This ubiquitous military has overstayed its welcome! It should be jettisoned through a REFERENDUM so that Nigeria can have PEACE at last!” From the Executive to the Legislature except for the Judiciary, it holds sway! “Enough is enough! Two captains cannot navigate one boat!”
Please join this campaign by sharing on the social media and look forward to NO.4 Edition coming out shortly. We MUST together SALVAGE our country from the hands of military predators!
