Asiwaju can't restructure without the support of Northern Lawmakers

All he did is turning everything to yoruba presidency

True but he can use power of negotiation to get progressive Northern leaders on board. Something has to give and Tinubu is one the talented Leaders Nigeria has produced that can make things happen.

tinubu is not restructuring nothing. The northerners are scared that if he is return as president for the second time he will do worst to the north than he's doing presently.

Just his first tenor he has jailed almost all the prominent leaders in the the north. How much more he will do when he returns with nothing to loose.

Yes, you're right

I'm sure the 10th National Assembly will work with the state house of assemblies to make sure LG autonomy and State Police become Possible

They have the numbers.

During the VAT debacle, Asiwaju proposed that the states generating the VATs should keep 60% of what they generate, the Northern Lawmakers didn't support the proposal and it has to be reduced to about 30% or 20%

And I don't think only Politicians from the North will be against a total restructuring. Even some Politicians from the South will reject it.

A lot of states will Collapse without the Oil money from ABJ

The proposal didn't go through house voting if not , northerners would have lost out. Anything restructuring, southerners irrespective of regions will support it.

North East and NW politicians have been the the one being disgruntled with president Tinubu. Both region don't have the numbers to overturn major decisions

North east, north west, most north central and some southern politicians will go against restructuring.

I know you are a Tinubu fan boy but you hype him beyond what he is capable of.


Now assuming only the north east and north west go against it, which is not possible for only them to be against it. The bill will still not pass because there are 39 senators from those regions and for a bill to pass you need 73 senators (two-thirds majority) to support it.

This means if 39 are against the others left will be 70 making the rest 3 senators short.

Also, i am very sure some senators from the north central like Niger, FCT, etc will be against it to.

Finally what makes you think aside Lagos the south western states can survive restructuring? In an event of restructuring the south east will no longer be marginalized and most people from the south east and south-south region will focus their businesses and investments around cities like PH. This is because vital infrastructures like ports and the likes will be built in the south-south region, like do you know the amount of wealth that region will accumulate from controlling their oil? Omo the south west won’t compete even in another life time. Also, i am sure alot of northerners will focus in doing trades and importation there.

Though it might not happen instantly, but it will take a few years. Lagos will depopulate to because why would anyone from the north, south west or south east invest in Lagos when there are more booming cities like PH?

You should understand that the north and south west are the biggest beneficiaries of this pattern of government. Else the south west will be no different from Benin republic, while the north will be no different from Niger republic.

The south-south is the power of Nigeria

Edited: In fact if you come to think of it, the south west is the biggest beneficiary of one Nigeria. Even more than the north.

Apart from Elrufai who confessed to tapping the phone of a Northerner, which other political leader from the North is in jail?

I have said it severally that restructuring or state policing is a gimmick. Nigeria is not yet mature to practice any of the 2 at the moment.

So that some northerners was against it didn't make difference as there was no intention about.

How about other policies and reforms which the Northerners initially fumed about but they couldn't do anything about it.

The average core NW and NE don't want the INEC chairman but we have only be seeing their renting on social media.

The current reality about Nigeria politics most especially in the north, the NW in particular are realizing their numbers alone can't win presidential election, Buhari tried severally

What is he talented at? Stealing electoral boxes and raising an army of street úrç-hìñz?

Tell us where and where he has shown this much vaunted "talent" as the president!

In nepotism? In gross mismanagement of the economy? In wayward kleptomania??

Yeyee

The teuth is that he wants to restructure Nigeia really, but according to the designs of the South West. If you remember very well, they floated that "restructure agenda" at the early part of his regime, but the northerners went berseck when one of his loquacious syrbodinates spilled the details therby lettung the cat out of the bag..


According to one of the presidents ethnic henchmen then who doubles as his presidential aid then, they wanted to have Ilorin back into the Southwest and to have the Yoruba speaking part of Kogi join the Southwest. Then they wanted the oil rich parts of Imostate and Abia slashedoff and dashed to Wikeand Riverss... Northerners revolted against the hijacking of Ilorin their "war booty", and the jittery presidency pushed the plan under the table..

You need no one to tell you that once the "second term gag" is removed, he will go for those far reaching ethnic goals, since tgere will be nothing to worry about again. Dude is on an ethnic supremacist agenda. He wants to be seen as the greatest Yoruba leader post the genocidal Awolowo..

It is a question you can't convincingly answer.., because I am stating the obvious.

Everybody should be worried because , if tinubu can destroy Nigeria in his first term, he will plunge the country into unrecoverable debt in his second term (god forbids)

You and your co-travellers are just unprogressive nuisances. Look at what is shown below and you will note that it is the template Tinubu is following holistically.

No Government has fought to deliver full local Government autonomy as Tinubu has done.

We have regional development commissions for every geopolitical bloc of Nigeria today and something your SE has begged several Government for with Tinubu now being the President to oblige.

Regional development commissions, run well, can be arbiters of regional autonomy.

There is so much more that is real and factual towards restructuring of Nigeria Tinubu has done and I am always taken aback to note how unprincipled you lot are with your dishonesty and denial of korokoro truth because I will never deny facts and reality against even my worst enemy.

That is what being principled and upright is about and I personally feel I owe it to myself to be that always rather than be lying shamelessly against others I don't like.
