Governance: Revolution, Resolution, Restructuring (2) -By Micheal A. Adeniyi

Restructuring of the mind and how we deal with governance is the real change we need to exhibit, the system of government seems not to be working because the constitution is not working,  because we denied ourselves the rights we have,  because we decided to play ethnicity card, because we failed to hold those representing us accountable, and the marginalization game is well orchestrated by our fail governors and local representative that we think the FG was the failure, that we think our failed representative will do better for us,  if they can’t do better now I bet it they will never do better when we allow them up there,  a governor in the south west swore he did not receive bailout funds until documents from the presidency exposed him,  tell me the fault of non payment of salaries to the workers was from the federal government, please  let’s look at the recent developments in the NASS, the second Niger bridge! let’s be our own judge here, it was included in the budget by a Fulani president and a Yoruba deputy. It was removed by the NASS, yet the south (Ibo)  in the NASS supported its removal gladly ( a project every Yoruba,  Hausa and Ibo hailed as great development) they did not put up a fight unlike the way they fought for increase in  allowance, the padded 7bn which was later removed by the presidency and your constituency allowance which always end up in their deep pocket. If Buhari had removed the Second Niger bridge we would have been so quick to shout “marginalization”.

Why do we play blind to the marginalizing activities and deliberate underdevelopment, even financial loots of our territory? Lagos is doing fine,  Kaduna is having an accountable governor who will publish what he spent and what it it used for, I mean visible projects,  that is the structure we are talking about,  that is the revolution you must lead,  accountability should be your resolution by now,  hold your representatives, hold those governing your territory responsible for anything. It is your right! we are the one to restructure the structure of government,  not the senate,  not the judiciary and not even the presidency,  we can punish those failing us, we can recall them,  we can impeach them,  if the legislature fears recall,  the executive will as well fear impeachment,  the evil bond will be broken!  don’t trade with your future,  don’t allow any politician mortgage it. Let’s learn how to operate the system.
