Tareq1105:


Atiku is only playing politics.

Most issues in the report are constitutional and the 7th Assembly rejected the report claiming that no constitutional conference can be put in place when a National Assembly is functioning.

Secondly, no Northern president including Atiku is interested in restructuring. The restructuring you're hearing is the usual politics especially at this moment of politicking.

If he can go ahead to implement local government autonomy then he has already put Nigeria working again. He would surely get support from reasonable Nigerian

rexwalters:
Mugu anything to do with the exclusive legislative list or the concurrent list can only be amended and restructured by two third majority of the National Assembly.

Moreso the so called conference was illegal and unconstitutional and was only carried out to Fool the gullibles,only the National Assemby under the constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended)has that power,may I ask who chose the so called pdp conference delegates?that is why it is good to study to find yourself approved like the Bible said.

Please can you name one of Atiku's companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange?because I don't know of any.

OkaNaUbe:
Will Atiku in all honesty implement the Confab?

rexwalters:
[s]The truth is bitter,you must be a youngun?you need re orientation,spititual and brain cleansing for positive thinking,tomorrow you will say you were deceived by so called politicians?they say a bird in hand is worth two in the bush,go figure that out. [/s]

MadamExcellency:


You are the hungry soul that can't solve problem but choose to hold everyone down because of your indecision.

Who the hell do you think your little mind is to bring partisanship into important national discourse

rexwalters:
That is saraki & dogara's work (Legislative),Presidency (Executive) to carry and implement laws passed by the senate,it is statements like these I know atiku is all out to fool the gullible masses has nothing to offer,restructuring of the constitution lies exclusively with the National Assembly the President only assents or veto.

sean079:


Legislative work? Yeah right but the will and motivation must evolve from somewhere and if its coming from the president himself then its almost 75% achieveable. It will only require little politicking to complete the rest. The will and motivation is all what is needed from Atiku.

Every reasonable Nigerian knows local government autonomy is inevitable when its come to development except those greedy state governors

Ngozi14:
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said he will decongest the exclusive and concurrent lists in the constitution as part of his plan to restructure the country.

Atiku, who disclosed this to SUNDAY PUNCH through his media aide, Phrank Shaibu, also said the report of the 2015 Constitutional Conference on restructuring would be looked into by relevant stakeholders, adding that appropriate decision that would be of national interest, would be taken.


According to him, it is not for one person to dictate that the report must be adopted or not

Atiku said, “The autonomy of the states and local governments, both of which are closer to their people than the central government in Abuja, will result in more effective decisions that would be more potent and impactful in terms of results and effects.”


Explaining the modalities for his planned restructuring, the former Vice President stated that the Federal Government would retain the role of providing the required direction for the economy, defence and national security, internal law and order, currency, international affairs and foreign policy, customs, citizenship and immigration, firearms and related matters.

He said matters relating internal security, police, law and order, minerals and mines, land and environment as well as railways, transport and communication would be devolved to the concurrent list.


Atiku added that local governments would assume its constitutional status as an independent tier of government.

Meanwhile, his wife, Titi, and some leaders of the PDP groups, on Saturday, accused the President Buhari-led administration of harassing and intimidating opposition members.

Speaking in separate interviews with our correspondent during the inauguration of Women Pathfinders Initiatives for Atiku/Obi in Abuja, they also alleged that Buhari’s government was stinking with corruption.

Atiku, who was represented by her personal assistant, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Garba, accused some Buhari’s government’s officials of being enmeshed in corruption. She added that the government was allegedly shielding corrupt people.

But the Federal Government said the allegations of the PDP members against the government were false and of no consequence, adding that Buhari was not intimidating the opposition.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, accused the PDP members of engaging in blackmail, adding that Buhari’s government was neither corrupt nor shielding corrupt people.
