El-Rufai Criticizes Politicians for Neglecting Federalism in Power Shifts
Governor El-Rufai criticized Nigerian politicians for abandoning federalist principles once in power, favoring a centralized approach that hinders national development. Speaking in Imo State, El-Rufai highlighted the importance of federalism in fostering unity and democratic stability.
He urged a return to true federalism, advocating for more power to be devolved to states, including in areas like policing. El-Rufai's remarks come amidst discussions on the 2023 constitutional amendment, with a focus on restructuring to enhance true federalism based on the APC Committee's recommendations.
The governor's stance underscores the need for a shift towards decentralized governance for improved national progress.
