….As Governor meets PDP Delegates in Ondo State
A Presidential Aspirant on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Muhammed, has insisted that Nigeria needs a detribalised leader to lead her from next year, noting that zoning the office of the president should not determine who becomes President.
Muhammed, stated this on Saturday at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat, in Akure, while addressing Delegates from Ondo State including Mr Eyitayo Jegede, SAN; the Party’s State Chairman, Hon Fatai Adams; Senator Ayo Akinyelure Allover; among others.
The governor, who is in Akure on a campaign mission on becoming the presidential aspirant of the PDP,said dialogue is part of federation.
Muhammed accompanied by top politicians, said the various insecurity challenges being faced in the country had really exposed the efficacy of our federating structure and security architecture.
“People are feeling excluded, nepotism has taken over, and I think there are other issues.
“The insecurity has really exposed the efficacy of our federating structure,our security architecture and so on, so we need to talk!.
“Dialogue is part of Federation, dialogue is part of governance. Dialogue and Understanding are the only thing that will ensure smooth provision of infrastructure and good governance,” he said.
“To me, restructuring is about good governance,it is about the reconstruction of the Nigerian federation in a manner that would be efficient, acceptable to federating entities.
“We are are not going to be driven by mistrust and suspicion any longer. If Nigerians want Nigeria to be restructured, that is what we should do because the thing is not working.
In his remarks while addressing the PDP delegates, Muhammed said he was a detribalised Nigerian and would carry everybody along.
He said the country needed to make the state and local governments stronger for better and efficient delivery of dividends of democracy.
The governor congratulated the governors of the South-West for tackling insecurity in the in a local way, saying,” we need local police and reduce the power at the centre (FG).”
