Can Soludo Be An Alex Salmond for Ndigbo? by Nobody: 6:24pm On Apr 14, 2017 |
Soludo has endorsed Governor Obiano for Anambra second term. But if he is waiting in the wings to replace Obiano as Anambra Governor when Obiano must have completed his second term then I am sorry Soludo can do better and aim higher. Why can't Soludo run for Senate in 2019 and use that platform to coalesce Ndigbo around a devolution agenda through APGA ? APGA should focus purely on devolution, self reliance and how much progress we can make from effective self Governance If APGA sell this agenda as their manifesto I can see them taking over the south east Harness the emotions surrounding IPoB and tell IPOB members to make progress first through devolution while still in Nigeria rather than wait when Nigeria breaks of which nobody knows at this moment how long that will take or if it will ever happen 1 Like |

krendo: Sorry but all that is dead in the water. Devolution of powers is the same thing as true federalism/resource control/fiscal federation. The North is against all of these things and they control over 60% of the votes at the national assembly. To pass a law on these, you need at least 67% percent of votes. So all that is dead in the water |

kingzizzy: Who is hoping for Northerners to vote for devolution? Did southerners get a vote when northern state assemblies voted sharia as law of those states? I am talking about organising the south east states to chip away at federal control of local affairs on a policy by policy matter Also encouraging bottom up politics I am expecting the North to support devolution. They did not support independence from the British let alone devolution. North is reluctant to progress everyone must know this! |

Can I also add that ibb in 2007 election was the only presidential candidate actively campaigning for devolution Ahead of 2019 Atiku is the only Presidential candidate talking about it While we know that majority of north are against it, the fact remains that no structural effort has yet been made People are talking in the media but there has not been any clear effort to bring a bill to the National Assembly asking for a vote. So you can not presume what you don't know, so real life organised and structural efforts are required |
