"I have heard you loud and clear" said president Tinubu. He proceeded to make hollow declarations viz: (1) Hope City and Estate to build 500 units of housing in each state and 1,000 in three years; (2) Importing tractors and mechanized farming equipment for Agriculture to cultivate farms and incentive to farmers including fertilizers (3) "Now that we have been enjoying democratic governance for 25 years" , is that so; with the massive rigging of elections including the 2023 presidential election?
Fact remains that Tinubu has
failed to frontally address the CORE ISSUES that triggered the nationwide
protest.
(1)First and foremost, he
should kickstart immediate Restructuring of the lopsided Federation to restore
realistic principles of federal system of government as was practiced in the
First Republic.
(2) Integral to Restructuring
the Federation, state police is a desideratum, irrespective of the gimmickry
going on in the National Assembly on state police.
(3) The security agencies must
be mobilized to drive away foreign fulani occupants of all the villages in
southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue state to go back to where they came from
because the useless ECOWAS protocol free movement across West African countries
is only applicable in Nigeria because of the hidden Islamization agenda, this
is a clear fact. Sane and sanitized countries NEVER allowed their borders
thrown open for the infiltration of foreigners, more so Fulani herdsmen
described as the 4th most terrorists groups in the world. Who is fooling whom?
(4) In Federations the world
over, Housing program and Agriculture are operated by the State Governments and
not Federal Government.
(5) While awaiting
Restructuring the lopsided Federation, New Revenue Sharing Formula should be
arranged between the federal government and State governments alone. Let State
Governments take care and arrange how to manage the local administration
wrongly called "Local Government Council" by the military Decreed
fraudulent 1999 constitution supposedly under amendments ostensibly to pander
to the preferences, inanities and venality of the Northern Moslems at the
expense and detriment of the Southern part of the country.
Until these 4 clearly
identified issues are given immediate attention, president Tinubu should be
seen as not serious about Good Governance which is the pith and marrow of the
nationwide protest by the youths.
