Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has called for Nigeria to revert back to a confederal system of government which was practiced in the 50's and 60's.
According to him, this is the best option for Nigeria. He was speaking about the restructuring of Nigeria's governmental system.
“Nigeria developed faster in the 50s and 60s when it was practising confederal system of government, with the regions running its own affairs almost autonomously," he said in a statement released by Lere Olayinka, his Spokesman on New Media.
“A situation where a state cannot do anything about its mineral resources without approval from the Federal Government, will not foster the development that we all yearn for.” the governor said.
"A situation where the federal government has turned itself into lord and master over other federating units in the country, using federal agencies to oppress even governors is not acceptable.”
According to him, the APC in 2014 had promised to practice true federalism but had gone off-course now that it's in power.
