You left the confab to implement work done by a committee?

The person that arranged/the confab refused to implement its recommendation before leaving office and you now expect an opposition party to do that. Is that not the peak of foolery.

If Tinubu ever implements true federalism, I'm going to hail him to highest heavens.

Let's be honest to ourselves, without true federalism Nigeria will keep running round and round and round till eternity

Ykc2:
believe apc on your peril ,tinubu was in nadeco for his pocket not for betterment of sw,members of nadeco later worked for abacha

Is there any Nigerian politician who's not fighting for his pocket from PDP to APC to LP to NNPP etc ALL of them share one and the same common goal which is to STEAL as much money as they could.

LandMann:


And el rufai committee report is a known entity?

Some of you are too stupid to be given access to internet

It isn't claiming to be a known entity neither is it claiming to be superior to the confab report. What it does recognize is that amending the Federal structure is a political matter which is why the report is domiciled with a political party and not with the government.

Lies and Maradona dribbling. You want them to implement true federalism so that all them otedola, alakija will lose their oil wells to the real owners? So that SS & SE will build their own sea ports So that the NNPC thieving cabal will end? So that dangote will no longer be a monopoly? Or that dangote will pay royalties to the people of nigerdelta for pipeline he built from Bonny to Lagos?Lol. Dey play. Only a revolution can force this

To organize confab and implement within 4yrs isnt easy esp with the hatred towards the president because he is from a minority nationality.

Anyways, why can't APC organize a constitutional conference instead of a committee report which does not represent the different nationalities?

Oga calm down little Tinubu is a learnt therefore he will not hesitate to drop this frivolous reports to a dustbin. However president Tinubu should call for another confab or he introduced 1960 confab.

atiku4President:
I know Tinubu government will do it.

ogaontop:

Is the El Rufai's committee report constitutional
Hypocrisy makes one sound unintelligent!

You are inferring something I have not said. Saying the confab is not constitutional does not amount to El Rufais committee report being constitutional.

What I am saying is that the representativeness of the confab is wasted as the only way to achieve a change is through the political process which is why the matter is a party matter not a government matter. The difference is subtle but important.

DMerciful:

The same CONFAB that the initiator couldn't implement even one thing in the report

Besides, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the El Rufai's committee report if it's still in line with restructuring and embracing True Federalism.

ogaontop:
Tinubu should be very smart in doing this, many of these governors are more power-intoxicated than the president himself, and they are always ready to battle the centre!

He should be very careful...and not be hasty...least we learn the hard way...with the way we are feeling the biting impact of the hasty subsidy removal, implementing the report for political expediency could discombobulate the Nation.

Believe DRUGGIE at your own peril

We want a people's constitution so any constitutional review or change must come from the negotiations of the ethnic nationalities in a constitutional conference.

GanagiBitrus:
True Federalism with greater devolution of powers to the States & resources control by states will make every State to look inwards & aim to be self sufficient.

You'll be surprised by the progress made by each State after 10years.

Devolution of power to the states won't still work, it will only enriched already corrupted politicians at state levels.

Let there be regional government and local governments directly under the control of the former. States are the sources of our backwardness, end states today and see how much progress we will made in 4 years, even with the current constitution.

Let them also remember the confab, anything that will make nigeria great is welcome.

Godfullsam:
True federalism is the best way to go..

It will greatly reduce cost of governance

It will remove concentration of power at the center.

It will give people sense of belonging

Aguyi Ironsi enacted Decree 34 of 1966 to abolish Regionalism. His generations will continue to suffer for it.

Is it not True Federalism and Restructuring, state policing every regions have been yearning for 🤷 it won't matter what you think or believe if this present leadership can implement one or two of any form of Restructuring that we want and no one would care to know if it was the CONFAB report or any other type of report.

Not everything should always be condemned.

Tinubu will restructure, but not now. He'll probably do that in his second term.

Different members of the confab committee are not just PDP members and they are more diverse than the El Rufai's committee because it's like a National dialogue drawn from all the geopolitical zones of the country!
The only thing I can agree here is that governments should make such discussions and subsequent implementation a constitutionally backed national dialogue rather than a political party affair!!

DMerciful:
You left the confab to implement work done by a committee?

Modified: Either the confab or a sovereign national conference. We must renegotiate our existence and decide if we wanna be together and under what terms!

Whether with the confab or the committee, you still need the national assembly to get anything done.

Why waste time on another confab? People are so much in a hurry for the dividends of governance, why waste another one or two years again?

Constitutionally-backed national dialogue?

How exactly will this be achieved?

How?

Don't mind them. They are playing stupid and dangerous politics. They know if they take the confab report, PDP will take the glory that's why they just archive it in the Presidential library.

I hope whatever is good for everyone and will address all burning issues in this country.

Which dividends of governance?

An El Rufai committee will be rejected so lets not get it twisted

Globad:

Why is the 1999 constitution being rejected? Because they said its was done by the military.

So you want a constitution or restructuring thats done by a committee rather than a conference of negotiated resolutions by the people just like the confab?

Why do we go around in circles?

What are you mulling again
Just do it.
State Police top of the agenda.

happney65:
We wait and see. If Tinubu can do total restructuring which entails devoluving power to the states and control of their resources with only a fraction being sent to the federal government which I seriously doubt,

If he does, He will write his name in Gold in the history of this country.

But can He?

Only time will tell

The time however starts NOW!!!

I agree 100%, if Tinubu's Government can carry this out, he will be one of the best things that ever happened to Nigeria. The states can survive without oil money, all we have to do is redirect our minds, look inwards, adapt, find and develop other sources of income and grow.
Let's try living civilly and considerately, everything shouldn't be me, me, me.

True Federalism A False Claim
No living Africa will accept True Federalism in his regime. Handing over your power to governors ... Tinibu will never accept it.

Hellrufai is Anti Christ.anything from him is bias. The national confab is the way forward

My comments have been very clear and simple.

Is there any other meaning to Federalism: state policing, states resource control or restructuring that was discussed in the CONFAB that is different from the El Rufai's committee

If they all mean the same thing then there shouldn't be any fuss about it. If it's implemented, it won't matter which report was used as it would lead to the same results.

Even when GMB tried giving autonomy to LGAs and House of Assembly, he was still being criticized by some people.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO CRITICIZE EVERYTHING.
