The
hogwash national assembly that we have now in Nigeria has an opportunity to
redeem themselves in the rather forever ongoing constitutional amendment. This golden opportunity is both pivotal for
the survival of Nigeria and for the redemption of an inept National Assembly.
They
just have to do two basic things to redeem themselves and make any meaning for
the money they make us spend on them.
These are – (1) amend the constitution to create a true federalism in structural,
fiscal, cultural, developmental, political and civil security sense. (2) Create
more states. Hitherto, only the military
have used fiat to create states as if we are not able as a democracy to respond
to the yearnings of our people. If the National
Assembly is able to create a state or two, we would consider them useful at least
to that extent because they have been useless and busy wasting our resources
all this while.
