Economic Crisis: Obasanjo Urges Devolution Of Power, Resources To States by ogododo: 11:32pm On Feb 24 |
A former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has urged for the devolution of power and resources from the federal government to state and local governments to better manage available resources and alleviate the ongoing economic crisis. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/02/economic-crisis-obasanjo-urges-devolution-of-power-resources-to-states/ 23 Likes 1 Share

Chai.. Is there any assurance that the governors too are not monumental failures and thieves? None of those hooligans think about you. Except a state like Lagos and the FCT that we can categorically affirm their spirit for constant progressive initiatives and better outlook to success than others, simply because of their status to the country. Corruption is almost impossible to completely exterminate in the Nigerian political atmosphere, but it is possible to curtail it to the barest minimum. I shake my head in dismay when I pass through some States during road travel; "all you see are chaff houses, very poor environment and setting, wretched living situation, and emptimess that you'll be depressed to ask if this is the so-called Nigeria that they say is blessed with abundance crude oil and so many other natural resources!!?" The environments look like 400BCE, which is absolutely devoid of any contact with the reality of what a present day 2024 should be. Chai.. It will be extraordinarily suicidal to believe that devolution of power is what we need. I'm sure many will run to their respective religious abode to share Divine Testimonies when the Block of Corruption favours them. 32 Likes 9 Shares |

I believe that devolving power resources to states could potentially alleviate the impact of the economic crisis and lead to more efficient decisionmaking. 88 Likes 6 Shares |

This is my problem with people like this. Always smart and knows what's right and good outside power. But when they are in, they do the opposite. It's easy to drive a car with mouth. If na plan, even the Agulu fraud get am plenty - that one can literally write a complete, nonsense consumption to production storybook while sucking Aisha's sagged breasts . But check what he did in Anambra for 8 years - zero doings; just talks. Same with Baba Iyabo - why you no execute devolution of power while in power? Same with our Information minister - Bosun. That one was one of the biggest critics of APC/Buhari/Tinubu over the years. Dem don give am portfolio now, the dude dey do nonsense paparazzi up and down - since becoming minister, Bosun hasn't done any tangible execution of any of plans. I call him the baddie minister. Enu dun ro efo. Anyways, I think this is a chess game between the North and South. Since the north has been moving mad since Tinubu came to power, Obasanjo might be coming out to fire the warning shot - the North are scared of true Federalism. This is OBJ having Tinubu's back - even though they are sworn political enemies, the region's interest comes first. When I tell people that the SW plays the most sophisticated politics in Nigeria, they argue. The thing is in the SW, politics isn't by cussing, chest beating, and being loud. Silent chess moves without confrontation - something the SE should learn about - but they won't and will never attain such level of sophistication - at least not this generation, and that's if they don't program their children with the same politics of hate and victimization that has relegated them to the back seat of national influence and power. The typical Igbo is programmed to suck at National politics right from birth. Abuse me all you want; that's the truth. To confirm their hypocrisy: They will come on this thread (even quote me) that they don't need the power seat of Nigeria; act like they care less. But na them carry ObiFraud for head pre and post election. Even those who abused Obi and called him a failure pre 2015 turned around to repackage him. Na them spend #800m on post election legal tussles for Obi. Na them dey always argue say their 3rd class failure was a First Class Omo Olodo'de at the election. "Yes.

Is this a call for true federalism? Today you are president, tomorrow you are not, the same constitution you use to allocate power and natural resources to yourself is the same one anyone who becomes president will use. 2 Likes |

Even worse. Like someone said, they always know what to do when they've left power.. Power and resources to state, with the utter rubbish these state governors are doing ?? State governors are by far worse than the federal government. The only reason they still have little regard for the FG is primarily because everything is centered around the FG... 1 Like |

When Ibori suggested this to him, he refused and immediately set a course to put him behind bars. Now he is coming to clap nonsense. Nigeria problems with democracy started with OBJ.
