Abeg, make I gist you wetin dey happen for Naija politics! Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde don talk wetin plenty of us dey reason – true federalism na wetin we need to ginger this country! E no dey joke o, as him sabi sey true federalism fit help solve plenty wahala wey dey ground for our political and socio-economic setup.
Dem gather for Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, as Makinde burst out with this gist. Him talk say true federalism go help our states shine well-well, make everywhere dey compete for development. No be only for Abuja matter, but for every corner of the country make dem shine!
Make I tell you, him no just dey talk from anywhere. Him remind us of that 1999 election wey late Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu join opposition candidate to spice things up. That one help to deepen our democracy and show say healthy competition dey important for our politics. Omo, competition na the heart of progress jare!
Makinde don dey hammer am say, if our leaders no dey ready to put national interest above their own personal and party ambitions, na so our growth go dey stuck. Na true federalism go fit strengthen our democratic institutions. E no dey lie, na him way wey Nigeria fit take move forward.
The event na big one – dem launch book, present birthday cake, and even dance traditional dance. E sweet o! But seriously, Makinde no just dey play; him dey shout make our political elite hear am well well! E no go make sense if we dey fight for power wey no go fit benefit everybody.
Him still remind us say ordinary Nigerians don already agree sey we be one; na dem wey dey chop power dey scatter us with ethnic and religious divide. Wetin be all this Muslim, Christian, “Afonja,” and “Baba make I major” matter? No time for that jare!
As Makinde dey yarn, he no hide say e no be member of APC, and no be say e wan move join dem. Him go rather focus on how we fit build stronger consensus among we elite. Na so we go fit face our wahala head-on. So e remind us say Naija independence na federalism and multi-party democracy, and we gatz return to that road.
Makinde don call for better arrangement wey go ensure say no winner-takes-it-all for our political space again. Dat one no suppose be our way. We gatz come together as a nation and tackle our present problems well, well, before e too late!
So my people, wetin you dey think? You feel say true federalism fit change our story? Make we hear your own side because something gatz give!
