Calls for the restructuring of Nigeria governing and political system has become louder in recent times. The calls range from the creation of state police, resource control by states, devolution of power from the center etc. and most state governors align in one way or the other to these calls either because of genuine consign or just so as to be popular with their electorates.

What I find hypocritical is that this same governors refuse to implement democratic structures that is supposed to be guaranteed in a federation like ours e.g. the independence and autonomy of local government, the state judiciary and legislature even though not acting in accordance should be against the constitution. Although there are efforts made to implement these systems like the issuing executive order directing some level of financial autonomy to the local government and the recent strike by staff of the judiciary, the governors haven't fully taken appropriate actions. It is not uncommon to see a state governor sacking elected local government chairmen, and buying vehicles for judges and magistrate which should not be the case in a federal republic.

"He Who Comes Into Equity Must Come With Clean Hands" so I think the state governors lack to moral high ground to condemn the Federal Government on the issue of restructuring when they themselves are lacking in that aspect and instead should focus their attention into implementing democratic ideals in their respective states.

State governors are the real instigators of most of the sufferings in Nigeria, e.g seizing control on local government fac allocation, also constantly pushing for removal of fuel subsidy so that they can have more money to squander and loot!
