times economically and that the country's
leaders must act fast
- Obong Victor Attah, a former governor of
Akwa Ibom state, has told the leaders what
to immediately do to save the country from
collapse
Former governor of Akwa Ibom state,
Obong Victor Attah, had hinted that
Nigeria will soon disintegrate adding
that the only solution is for the country
to immediately commence the practice
of true federalism.
The Sun reports him as saying: “Under a
fiscal regime, as it were in the days of
the regions, states, would contribute 50
percent of their resources to the central
government and use 50 percent for
development of their territories, such
that multiplier effects would douse 90
percent of tensions in the country.”
Attah, a former chairman of the Nigeria
Governors’ Forum, was governor
between 1999 and 2017 and has been
fighting for resource control. He
believes that some states are not viable
and that if granted true federalism, they
would look inwards to generate
revenue.
NAIJ.com learnt that he argued that
Nigeria would have achieved more
significant development if the country
was practising true fiscal federalism.
Many other Nigerians have also argued
in the same line.
The former governor also advocated for
the adoption of two-party system urging
parties with similar ideologies to merge.
“Two major political parties are good for
this country, so that when one is not
doing well, the people should have a
choice to vote the other,” he said while
urging Nigerians to defend their votes
in every election and demand for
accountability from their governors at
every point in time.
He also commended President
Muhammadu Buhari for his
achievements so far.
