The South West Governors Forum has proposed a return to the regional government system.
The governors want the six states in the geographical zone converted into federating units. This proposal was contained in a document presented to members of the national assembly from the zone by the governors as part of the review of the 1999 constitution.
According to The Cable, the document was dated July 5, 2021, with the title, ‘Proposals for the Review of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended): Presentation by South-West Governors’ Forum’. In the document, the governors asked that sections 3(1) and (3) of the Constitution be amended.
That is the section of the constitution that states that there shall be 36 states in Nigeria. But the governors are demanding a return to northern, western, and eastern regions.
“We propose that Section 3(1) be amended as a federation consisting of six geopolitical zones constituted from the states.
“The federating units or regions are divided into the following geopolitical zones: North-West Zone, North-Eastern Zone, Middle – Belt Zone, South-East Zone, South-South Zone, South-West Zone and the Federal Capital Territory,” the proposal reads.
“Section 3(6) be amended to provide for a number of local governments or such autonomous administrative units to be created by the respective federating units or states, the criteria of which shall include population, taxable capacity, ethnoreligious or other cultural and social affinities.”
“Section 7 of the constitution be amended to include an additional (sub)section prohibiting the dissolution of elected local government councils.
“This will be in compliance with the Supreme Court decisions in ALGON v. Oyo State Government; AG Plateau State & Others v. Goyol & Others; Governor, Ekiti State v. Olubunmi & Others.”

The person been fooled, is always the last person to realize that they are been fooled, only a Fool will change the system that brought them to power, as long as it keeps them in power, shine your eyes, let them keep deceiving you, They should have advocated shifting the Governors powers to the Local Governments, that is where the people reside, & real development occurs not in the state capital. Zombie way na one way.
