Bala Na’Allah Talk Say Nigeria Constitution Dey Shine, But E No Work Well!

My people, listen well-well! Former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Bala Ibn Na’Allah, don blow our mind as e dey yarn about Nigeria Constitution.

The man dey hail our constitution like say na gold we get for hand, but e emphasize say no be di law wahala dey, na na di way dem dey implement am na im get problem.

For im interview wey e do for Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Na’Allah no gree gree make we forget say, according to am, Nigeria Constitution na one of di best wey you fit find anywhere wey eye fit see.

Na’Allah, wey come from Kebbi South, talk say di founders of our constitution sabi all di wahala wey dey for our multiple religion, culture, and ethnicity; dem sabi say making one tribe domineer over another go turn to serious problem, so dem design am well to balance di governance.

Wetin e talk next go make you reason am twice: dem no gree give executive power to just one president. Instead, all di states go produce one minister wey go join others for Federal Executive Council. E mean say di power dey shared well, no be just one person dey hold am.

Nobody fit shout pass Na’Allah as e dey explain say di constitution arrange am say whenever dem gather for executive council meeting, during di ‘Any Other Business’ segment, each minister go fit talk wetin dey happen for im state, just like say na family matter dem dey yan.

“Di constitution expect say di minister from Taraba go lift im hand, yarn about di wahala wey dem dey face. Na wetin suppose happen!” Na’Allah talk.

Di man no run from question, when dem ask am if di last-last government don follow di constitution, him say, “Yes, if na di true spirit of governance wey dem dey follow.”

As e don dey hot for Nigeria now regarding constitutional reform and federalism wahala, critics dey shout say di 1999 Constitution wey military make no dey allow regions shine as dem suppose shine, but Na’Allah dey represent di opposite school of thought. Him dey hold say di constitution good, na enforcement and accountability wey dem suppose focus on.

My people, as we dey follow this story, make we shine our eyes and see wetin go happen next o! E never clear wether dem go take Na’Allah advice or go just dey carry last for this governance matter.
