布哈裏媒體組織(蒙特利爾銀行)周四17問州長的南部國家把他們要求權力下放權力,州警察和新的收入分配公式等國民大會的決議。州長,在克三角州,周二,同意禁止開放放牧和需求緊迫而大膽的舉措,重組的泊位進化的警察,對收入分配公式的地方政府和其他機構的創建,以確保實踐真正的聯邦製。然而,在一份聲明中由其董事長簽署Niyi Akinsiju和秘書,卡西迪Madueke,蒙特利爾銀行要求州長,政治家和政治官員停止嘩眾取寵和通道的想法和欲望適當的議會。它說:“任何短的嘩眾取寵。“像許多尼日利亞人,我們都很興奮,從尼日利亞南部州長最近撥出方差異來滿足關鍵的國家問題上,雙方就一些凸點,但我們感到驚訝,他們做了一些要求它們綁定到一個全國性的對話。“雖然我們無法得知重組需求討論之前,我們發現它奇怪的州長,包括至少5個前聯邦議員選擇忽視國民議會的憲法修正案,但選擇了顯然不是什麼認可作為憲法法律的身體很重要。“我們同意尼日利亞人大膽說出來什麼憲法規定以外的任何其他過程,相當於看似嘩眾取寵由上屆政府,或非法轉移到妥協的憲法定義角色國民議會的聲音。“順便說一句,17個州長遇見一次國民議會是推出的細節即將舉行的為期兩天的緯向聽證會上憲法審查和審議的項目上市。為免生疑問,緯向聽證會將在兩個城市的6個地緣政治區5月26日和27日。集團表示,將在聽證會上討論的問題足夠寬以滿足政府的呼籲重組和權力下放的權力。 “A cursory look at all 17 items showed that devolution of power, local government autonomy, fiscal federation, and revenue allocation, state police and judicial reform on election matters top the agenda. “Others are electoral reforms, socio-economic rights, residency and indigeneship, creation of additional states and local governments, removal of immunity in prima facie criminal matters, as well any other issues vital to unity and peaceful coexistence. “We make bold to say these are all-encompassing issues that are in line with the clamour for restructuring so we are surprised that State Governors, many of whom are former federal lawmakers, are mulling an illegal route to altering the Constitution. “We know however that President Muhammadu Buhari has always expressed his belief in processes and we dare say that he would not be a party to eroding the legitimacy and constitutional mandate of the National Assembly. “So our piece of advice to not just the Southern Governors Forum, but also to all 36 State Governors is for them to take their demands to the National Assembly, ensure they are physically present at the zonal hearings, and subsequently mobilize their allies in the two legislative chambers as well as State assemblies to back their demand for political restructuring.” Join the conversation
