It said: "The seeming lack of democracy at the council level, occasioned by lack of credible polls and the governors’ penchant to appoint caretaker committees in place of elected officials, has stifled democratic governance at the third tier of government across the country.
" The governors have
literally negated the local government system by unduly controlling the federal
allocations to the councils and dictating what happens in the local
governments. The killing of democracy at the grassroots level has contributed
to the general poverty and insecurity in the country".
Shameful indeed for an
enlightened segment of the country cannot understand the simple principles of
federal system of government as obtained the world over. Daily Sun Editorial
Board should rather up the ante on pressurizing the APC-led federal government
to restore realistic principles of federal system of government as was in the
First Republic which realistically had TWO TIERS OF GOVERNMENT viz: Federal
Government, and Regional Governments as obtained in countries that practice
federal system of government.
Sorry for the Nigerian press
Editorial Boards for the poor quality of their outings although they are not
different from absolutely corrupt Nigerians who are of itching palm to collect millions
of Naira from the transactional political leaders to write outright rubbish
contrary to the tenets and norms of the principles guiding federal system of
government the world over.
The Holy Book, the Bible
admonished that you should first of all "remove the log in your eyes
before telling your neighbour to remove the speck from his eyes". Meaning
that the Daily Sun Editorial Board should first of all lambast the federal
government on maintaining the "Federal-Unitary contraption" referred
to as the 1999 Constitution imposed on the helpless Nigerians by the Caliphate
Colonialists controlled Military Regime which suspended the realistic
principles of federal system of government in the 1963 Republican Constitution.
That Consider had TWO TIERS OF GOVERNMENT and NOT three tiers of government in
the fundamentally fraudulent and fundamentally flawed 1999 Constitution
supposedly under Amendments ostensibly to pander to the inanities and
preferences of the "Northern Political Emirate" who believe that they
would be dictating how Nigeria should be governed.
Until the 1963 Realistic
Federal system of government is restored, the State Governors should be allowed
to manage the local government councils as they like because Nigeria is
shamelessly operating a pseudo federalism stubbornly maintained by the
Caliphate Colonialists controlled APC-led federal government.
