This man is a genius.

ednut1:
Was Nigeria an el dorado in 1963

It wasn't. That's the fact

MrMaestro:


Absolutely brilliant. This man needs to run for Oduduwa President or even Nigeria President. The only man that puts politics aside to do what's right for the people and unapologetic about it as well. May God continue to bless him.

this akeredolu has a lot upstairs

You ve got to love this man.

MondayOsunbor:




all this

is just political distraction it will amount to Nothing

exactly

difference between cow san n real san

This Gov na real nigga. I wish he was my governor

I agree.
That was a Constitution of the People, by the people.
From the founding fathers.

Not this panel beated military Constitution.

Wow

The guy is nobody's bîtch.
He's got balls.

Waste of energy the will not revive constitution nothing is going to happen

i beg who has a copy 0f the 1966 constitutions. lets compare and contrast with this present constitution and see the merit and demerit in it.

It's really not about the word federal because the country is called the federal republic of Nigeria but we know there's nothing federal about it. You will not hear federal regarding Canada,US or UK. The reason why we're not federating is because some people wants to benefit far more than they contribute

LegendHero:


Yeah the military led us to where by are by abolishing that constitution. It’s a joint enterprise by Ironsi, Gowon who nailed the semi-final coffin, and even 1999 constitution is just another wahala on its own by those same military.

If you look critically at the Decree 34 that abolished the federal system which is the genesis, you will see that everything Federal was removed from the constitution.

--The 2. (1a) The Federal Military government will be known as National Military Government

The Federal Executive Council will be known as Executive Council.

--The 2. (1b) The Federal Capital Territory will be known as Capital Territory

They should just return the Federal back now and make it a true federalism, devolution of power, revenue sharing, state policing (infact not only police, the state should take over a lot more of what the FG is controlling), and etc.

This man get plenty sense

This is the best way to go. Nigeria is prosperous btw 1960 to 1963 up until the military took over the affairs of govt. It will be a thing of joy to go back to regional govt and let us implement the aburi Accord.

Premiumwriter2:
The only people rubbishing this great nation is the Northerners with their illiteracy and singular objective of owning the whole nation

They are dullard what do you expect?

Excellent.

This has been my cry for so long. Each region will be more empowered. One block headed Fulani cannot Lord over the whole nation again. And let the guys who have been cheated for long (ibo) take the destiny of their future too in their hands.

Let us make central presidency not financial attractive again. Let it be mainly foreign policies and executions of laws in the nation. Even, abuja senators and house of assemblies may be less attractive as many will want to compete in their local regions. This is how development will occur.

This is the concept developed nations have used to grow their economy. They keep supporting and investing so much in small and tiny businesses. They have successfully made startups the big thing now. Let's apply this principle to our nation.

Let's go!

BabaO2:
Babangida and Obasanjo will be sore afraid, both dont want good things for ordinary citizens, except themselves alone

Can you please explain further how they will be afraid?

Aketi keeps winning my heart. He's has brilliant as my leader and mentor, The Hon Minister for Interior

EmmyDJourno:
The Southern Governors need to stand strong against this Northern hegemony

The present system if not changed would consume us all

This Country must return to the structure that encourages comparative advantage in all regions

We in the South want progress and development if the North want to keep giving birth like Rats and not educate their own, it is their business

Story nothing is wrong with the Constitution, Failures will always find an excuse, is it not through this same constitution he is complaining about that he became Governor? Let them do their so called waste of time restructuring & give the Governors powers to the Local Government lets see if they would agree? Yeye Hypocrites fooling themselves & the gullible.

this will achieve not during tenure of bubu and his rubber stamp for emirate

LegendHero:


Yeah that man is sound and brilliant.

Why is he the only one talking? What of the other Southern governors?

My vote for Aketi for president.

I am all for return to the 1963 constitution but I doubt your god Tinubu will support it because he will do anything humanly possible to appeal to the northern elites.

Let him keep deceiving the third eye blind, when them Awolowo & Azikiwe approved the constitution of 1979 as Amended 1999, why did they not complain? It took them 42 years for him to realize that them Awolowo & Co did not know anything? Rubbish, nothing will change, let them account for the money they have collected from the FG they are complaining about.

I think Federal is one of the optimal solution to our co-existence and anything after that will be full dissolution of the entity called Nigeria.

Yeah I agree that it’s only on paper when you look at how Nigeria is currently being run but it was a true federal system pre-military era and that’s what Akeredolu is trying to say.

Federal itself is a terminology and if you don’t action it, you won’t have anything different from the status quo and we will just be going around in circles.

Waste of time, Why not Richards Constitution of 1946?

IDENNAA:

Tinubu supported the review of the constitution. They made a pronouncement of it in their broadcast few days ago.

See Nigeria is politics, constitutional amendment will favor the Yorubas and Lagos will be a great beneficiary too. Politics is always some kind of optical play, you only go all out for something when you know it can be a reality or else your enemies will crush you completely for your failure.

There is no reason whatsoever why Tinubu caucus won’t want restructuring, they are just handicapped right now because they don’t have that real power yet.

For the umpteenth time, this Man should please swap titles with that cricket on Bourdillon road...

In Yoruba parlance, Asíwájú is the One leading. He takes the lead, sets the pace and rally contemporaries and folks to a point of reason. Asíwájú is not a Bullion Van dealer, not a morally bankrupt person, who only thinks about himself and his family alone! An ideal Asíwájú is altruistic!

Arákùnrin on the other hand, means just an ordinary fellow! An Arákùnrin is an insignificant personae, a day-to-day person who commands no special attention or respect! He's essentially a follower, who is not to be followed!


So, Let Aketi become Asíwáju
And Tinubu be Arákùrin.

Tupaq:



Why is he the only one talking? What of the other Southern governors?

Some of them are kuku talking but I think Akeredolu was part of the people that chair those Southern governor meeting and he’s just acting as some sort of mouthpiece.
