Federal Government's Baseless Controversy Over Local Government Autonomy

By Polycarp Onwubiko

            

THE NATION EDITORIAL weighed in on the topical but utterly and wantonly needles issue of the position of LOCAL ADMINISTRATION (that was what it was realistically called in the 1963 Republican Constitution of the First Republic that contained the realistic principles of federal system of government. Sadly, it was thrown out by the misguided military misadventure which imposed the fraudulent, brazenly crafted and fundamentally flawed Military Decreed 1999 contraption referred to as a "Federal Constitution).

The NATION EDITORIAL contented inter alia but very much biased.

"It is good that the President has referred issues relating to funding the tier of government to the Supreme Court that is a policy court. It is expected that the apex court will expeditiously look into the letters and spirit of the constitution in adjudicating the matter.

 Nigeria needs to put a final seal on the lingering dispute".

***My comment:

Why requesting the Supreme Court to intervene in the utterly and wantonly and totally uncalled for cum needles controversy on the issue of THIRD TIER OF GOVERNMENT WHICH IS A MONSTROUS ABERRATION IN A FEDERATION AS OBSERVED THE WORLD OVER EVEN IN THE FIRST REPUBLIC IN NIGERIA?

The issue of LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, as it had been referred to in the First Republic is integral to the nationwide clarion calls for the immediate Restructuring of the lopsided Federation so that the issue of LOCAL ADMINISTRATION should be SOLELY the business of the State Governments (or Regional Governments if the Six Geopolitical Zones should be accepted as the new Federating Units by a constituted Constituent Assembly of selected representatives of ethnic nationalities to fashion PEOPLE'S CONSTITUTION while dumping the military Decreed fraudulent 1999 Constitution into the scrap heap of history.

Who is really fooling whom in Nigeria which is being manipulated by the "Hegemonic Caliphate Colonialists and Fulani Feudal Oligarchy who stridently kicked against Restructuring the lopsided Federation with decentralized security architecture as integral part. They don't want decentralized security architecture because it would truncate their dream Islamization agenda while the state governments will make laws banning open grazing and compel cattle owners to purchase lands and establish ranches as obtained in the West African countries in particular and the entire world in general. Who is fooling whom?
