Tinubu preached for federalism more than any of today's politicians. I wonder what he is waiting for. When I was small they taught us that US is practicing federalism, same as Nigeria. But what I am seeing today is totally different. Revenue sharing, State policing and election processes are totally off.

are the 3 items you mentioned the only things that should make nigeria a federal state?

what systems of government does the US operate?

does nigeria also operate that system?

Nigeria is a richly diverse ........v, the Idoma, and so on. Only then will we see a Nigeria that is just, peaceful, prosperous, and united in diversity.

You copied an article from ChatGPT or wherever, and in areas where Peter Obi is mentioned you added (yinmu). That's absolutely disgusting of you.
Do better next time

I'm so surprised that Tinubu who I viewed as the modern day Awo has failed to institute true federalism. It baffles me. Some people say he is waiting for his second tenure, but anything he does by then may not have a long lasting effect. Who is he afraid of?

Tinubu will NEVER institute true federalism as it'll whittle down the power allocated to him as the president.
Only someone who truly wants Nigeria to work will do it

what and what made you think that tinubu is a "modern day Awo"?

how can tinubu or any other person for that matter "institute" federalism?

is nigeria not already a federal state?

how do you institute what already exists?

have you read the constitution at all?

You can't prove that when he isn't the president. Tinunu is the current president and he has proven he can't do jack

The eyes can tell how much food will satisfy its stomach.

Obi that could not turn tiny Anambra with a population of about 5m, to dubai in 8yrs is the same person, you lot believes he can solve the humongous problems of Nigeria, in 4yrs.

Anambra isn't tiny, and obi performed very well. Someone outlined his performances here some days ago, it was impressive. If Anambra had the budget of Lagos State I'm sure obi would've done even much better than Tinubu did in Lagos.
It's worrisome the way you guys accrue the winnings of all the governors of Lagos to Tinubu, both the governors before and after him.
People who I know lived in Lagos before Tinubu's tenure, I don't mean his yes-boys like you, always say he didn't do nothing.
None of you ever admit Lagos State was Nigeria's capital for 70 years. This is just like Gbagyi people waking up one day to claim they made Abuja what it currently is

Old boy, don't get it twisted! Am not Tinubu's yes boy when I didn't vote for him in the last election nor do I intend to vote Tinubu, in 2027. I believe, you owe me an apology.
