Restructure the country....let states have control of their resources, harness them and get revenue from their resources to develop their states and some percentage of the revenue remitted and given to the federal government and also to transfer electricity, the power sector, electricity from exclusive list to concurrent list

Validated:
Scrap the 1999 constitution and have a national sovereign conference to create a new constitution. All these amendments here and there will not solve anything. If you missed your way, the only solution is to reverse and start on the right way, not seeking ways out of a maze. It will not work.
the 2014 confab document is the only document with national acceptance and should be adopted for a constitution. The looters up Abuja are greedy folks!

Fair proposals.

In one fold, we're looking for state of residence and in another we're talking about indigenes of the FCT. FCT should be for all. If you limit their leadership to those who come from there, there won't be someone like El-rufai to hold such positions to bring development.


The issue of LG autonomy and indigeneship should be looked at too. Anywhere you're as a qualified Nigerian, you should be able to contest and contribute.

Let's use this opportunity to kill tribalism and religionism.

I read everything and they are all wonderful provisions.

First, I support stifling of political parties registration process please. Just like I support the deregistration of a thousand of churches especially those started by disgruntled pastors from bigger churches.

A situation where one idiot goes to rent a container in Abuja as party office and asks INEC to register his party relying on whatever stupid Supreme Court judgment is stupid.

They end up wasting everybody’s time at the elections with stupid presidential candidates whose village people don’t even know. If you must contest for the presidency, go and win House of Rep, Senate or even governorship seat first. Show what you can at the regional level and let that be your pedigree giving the presidency a shot.

It is the reason people like Tinubu, Fashola, Peter Obi, Umahi, Umaru Zulum, etc, will always have edge over any other candidates in any presidential contest because we have seen them deliver at regional levels.

Again, Independent candidacy is another masterstroke. Political parties would learn not to toil with popular and capable candidates anymore while going for a buffoon because they think he will play ball.

Allowing states to decide on airports and railways, is another great provision. So that states will stop going to Abuja to beg for approval to build airports like Obiano and Umahi did just to build airport.

Mayoralty status for FCT is wonderful except that they still left the qualification at SSCE when we are clamoring for graduate certificate to be the minimum qualification for political office.

Another thing not so good is Labour going to concurrent list. We have seen how wicked some governors can be. But I trust Labour to make a lot of noise until Labour is removed from concurrent list.

When all is said and done, we will now go to God in prayers that Buhari will assent to it when finally legislated and passed by both National and state legislators.

Nigeria is getting there!

Meanwhile, Igbo Presidency 2023.
Are there any provisions about deciding issues with a Referendum??

Islie:
• Labour, railway, correctional service, airport, others moved to concurrent list

• Stiffens requirements for political parties formation

• Seeks diaspora voting, mayoralty status for FCT

• It’s a way of meeting restructuring demand – Lawyers, CSOs

Good amendments but not impressed with the qualification for a mayor of Abuja. They should stop taking us backwards. Current realities demand at least a degree holder

But he was already a billionaire with record of achievements.

How many of the over 70 idiots that called themselves presidential candidates in 2019 can you point to what they have achieved both in their private life and public service?

Is their any of them you can compare to Donal Trump?

Then change the criteria to wealth and social status instead of previous political office held.
