June 12: Aregbesola Calls For Restructuring, Says Nigeria Only Needs Six States by Drinokrane: 1:51pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
The Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has called for restructuring in Nigeria as the only way to survive running a Federalism of indebtedness. Aregbesola made this call on Monday while speaking at the 24th year celebration and remembrance of the annulled June 12, 1993 election of Chief MKO Abiola. According to Aregbesola, it is time Nigeria get restructured in line with the federal system of government being operated in India. He said in India, states are created based on people who speak the same language and have same cultural values. He said if Nigeria wants good unity, we need to restructure , just like in India adding that Nigeria democracy is a dictactorship of indebtedness. He said Nigeria should return to a paliamentary system of government if the country does not want to die of indebtedness. He said the federal system of government that operates 36 states can not work in the face of the economic realities, adding that the country’s revenue can not manage the system of government it operates. He suggested that the state in the country be pruned to six states, base on geo-political zones and that each state should have a president elected to serve a single term of six years. He said like the paliamentary system of government, the six presidents will elect a president that will head the country for one year and after each year a new president will be elected among the remaining ones, making it rotatory. He said in the case of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election, those behind the annulment are enimies of Nigeria and the black race, because the presidency of Abiola would have eradicated poverty in the country Speaking on the theme “24 Years After June 12 Challenges of Democracy in Nigeria”, a professor of history from Osun state university ,Osogbo, professor Siyan Oyeweso said late chief Abiola remained symbol of democracy hence the need for political gladiators to make democracy more meaningful to citizenry. Professor Oyeweso who noted that twenty four years after June 12 Nigerians were still battling with issue of good governance and development, called on political leaders to retrace their steps by consolidating the nation;s democracy. The guest speaker hinted that late chief Abiola was a true nationalist who died for the interest of the masses saying the current has not justify the sacrifice of the late political icon. On his part, a human rights activist, Mr Femi Aborisade who maintained that Nigerians have not tasted true dividends of democracy urged political actors to change their attitude to political offices. Aborisade said June 12 benefits could not be realized if politicians continued to see public office as a means to acquire wealth. In his opening remark, the chairman of the event and senator representing Osun East in the Senatoria District, Senator Babajide omoworare noted that June 12 was key to the present Democratic governance hence the need for government to recognise the day as democracy day. Omoworare submitted that sustainable democracy was the only way to consolidate the memory of June 12 and immortalize the hero of the day. He described sustainable democracy and good governance as best way to immortalize the acclaimed winner of June 12,1993 presidential election,chief Aboiola.

Any restructuring will need to be approved by the Senate & House of rep., the same people benefiting the most in the current situation. How's that going to happen? As Americans say, turkeys don't vote for Christmas. I tell you, Nigeria can feel like a prison with no way out. 1 Like |

Drinokrane: This man is confused. Restructuring where people of different culture and languages will be in the same region is the same as Nigeria. That region will fail. This country should be restructured based on tribes if they are not ready for a referendum, we the Igbo people, will keep agitating for a sovereign nation. |

For once Aregbesola made sense. This country will continue to decay if we don't rise up and the the right thing. Restructure now less the country implodes. 1 Like |

caleboxylic:The restructuring could be done in a sincere manner...allowing people to freely merge with those they share language, culture and interests with. That way nobody would feel out of place. And also a clause could be inserted to allow any aggrieved group to initiate renegotiation. This is 2017, we should act accordingly. 3 Likes |

THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST USEFUL ANALYSIS I HAVE READ ABOUT A PROMISING NIGERIAN FUTURE IN MONTHS. THE CURRENT STRUCTURE HAS PRACTICALLY COLLAPSE AND IS COMPLETELY UNSUSTAINABLE, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY BENEFITING FROM IT AND THOSE WHO HOPE TO BENEFIT FROM IT IN FUTURE ARE THE ONLY ONCE SUPPORTING IT. IF YOU DONT RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA INTO A SIX STATE FISCAL FEDERAL STATE, IT WILL EVENTUALLY DIVIDE INTO 6 OR MORE COUNTRIES SOON. |

Anyway, that was his own opinion. But there are three out of six regions that dont have people of the same tribes or culture. |

Obasanjo was forced on the country by ibb and abdulsalam in place of abiola. Obasanjo who was rejected by his people because they knew he would failed and he failed. He was a total disgrace and failure. |
