The former chief of staff to Edo
State governor, Patrick Obahiagbon, has said that for Nigeria to attain to
greatness, she must create a stable ground for economic justice, rule of law
and permit ‘presidency’ to be rotational for a period of time among the six
known geo-political zones in the country.
He stated this while featuring in
Good Morning Nigeria breakfast show on NTA.
Obahiagbon equally said that
supremacy of the law, constitutionalism, federalizing security matters and
giving legal teeth to restructuring and devolution of powers to states and
local governments will not only make Nigeria move forward but to be first to
attain greatness amongst nations.
He urged government to re-visit
and adopt the 2014 national confab and organize a meeting for Islams (Muslims)
and Christians whom he said had constituted quantum of problems in the nation
building by struggling for religious hegemony and political supremacy.
He said: “I believe we need to
have an incremental devolution of powers and that is the only way to go.
“The Presidency of the country
should be rotated for a period of time among the six geo-political regions.
“You must equally federalize
security matters. A situation where Abuja sits in mountain Olympus and expects
that they know grassroots policing is no longer realizable.”
