LAGOS — Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has restated that he is an advocate of fiscal federalism, stronger state governments and state police.

Mr Osinbajo made this submission while delivering the 40th Anniversary Lecture of the Association of Friends on Monday in Lagos.

He reiterated his stance that good governance was what Nigeria needed rather than geographical restructuring.

“I have been an advocate, both in court and outside, of fiscal federalism and stronger state governments. I have argued in favour of state police, for the simple reason that policing is a local function.

“You simply cannot effectively police Nigeria from Abuja. Only recently, I made a point that stronger, more autonomous states would effectively eradicate poverty.”

Prof. Osinbajo’s stance on stronger states and state police is at variance with that of President Muhammadu Buhari who has publicly opposed state police.

President Buhari’s non-commitment to state police and stronger states, components of a restructuring of the federation demanded by many Nigerians, is believed to have influenced the lack of action by the ruling party, APC, on the matter.

Although a committee set up by the APC, following public outcry, submitted its report, the ruling party has failed to act on it.

Despite the inaction of the presidency and the ruling party on restructuring Nigeria, Prof. Osinbajo has, however, continued to restate his support for major aspects of restructuring. He recently engaged in a public debate with former vice president, Atiku Abubakar on the latter’s commitment to restructuring.

APC house of commotion. VP for state police and restructuring, while President is against both.

Osibanjo speaking and making sence anytime the president travels out.
But once that man returns, his body odour/dullardism eludes every good sence of reasoning in Aso rock...smh

A pastor that speaks from both sides of the mouth �that one na pastor?

No iota of integrity. Today they say this, tomorrow they change tone.

Why have u not been vocal all these while.

This govt have vowed not to make any move that'll favour the nation at large.

welcome to campaign season

is too late to campaign Whit it.

A man who is for everything stands for nothing.
A man who sacrifices is hard earned integrity for the purpose of history makes no Legend.
A man must define is convictions, bury his fears, and walk his talk. Afterall, your greatest satisfaction in life is not in the abundance of things accomplished, but in the pursuit and fulfillment of purpose.

BUHARI and Osinbajo go punch each other lol

Wow

#JubrinRemoveYourCap

Thank God for elections!

Hope he is not planning to divert owo with police van

One thing i know about Osibanjo is that he is very intelligent and sound. He is a fast thinker and i see him as someone that can lead Nigeria to greater things.

Far better than Saraki, Buhari, Atiku etc. Respect to him.

your opinion does not really count so long as the president thinks differently. I am surprised at the extent Buhari is avoiding public functions.

Inserting the template of a first world country into a 4th world country

why are you crying?

If this administration believed in restructuring it would have hit the ground running on its assumption of office but this is eleventh hour marketing.

Osibanjo saying things that's not a pressing issue. State Police or federal police is that why everybody is broke in Nigeria? Everyone is lamenting and things getting costlier. I went to buy fuel today. N600 cannot reach anywhere. And nobody says nothing about it. You are Just distracting us with confusing topics.

The billions in Nigeria what are you people using it for? Npower but PHCN is zero. Fix light first.

stop your always no sense talk. State police has always been on the agenda and manifesto of APC right from ACN days.
#State police
#Independent power generation
#Genuine resources restructuring NOT the one Jonathan hurriedly introduced in election year as a populist idea to curry favour

Too late

Ok
