Nigeria is Operating Distorted Form of Federalism - Jega | Daily Report Nigeria

Prof. Attahiru Jega, a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has said Nigeria is operating a “distorted” form of federalism.

Jega stated this while speaking on a theme ‘Nigeria: The Imperative of Unity’, on Wednesday at a national unity summit organised by the National Prosperity Movement (NPM) in Abuja.

According to him: “Nigeria regrettably, operates a distorted and dysfunctional form of federalism, in which the core principle is undermined, rather than nurtured and entrenched,”

“This negative trend needs to be reversed. But it can only be done by having elected leaders who are democrats and not ‘militicians’, who understand what the value of operating a functional rather than dysfunctional federal arrangement is, for peace, stability, progress and development of a country, and who have the ability, capacity, competence and integrity to drive good democratic governance for the polity.

“Unity in diversity is a core principle of federalism. All federations are required to adhere to, and actively nurture and entrench, expectations associated with this core principle.

“Nigeria, as a federation with a complex mosaic of diversity, needs to continue to find and deploy ways and means of forging, entrenching and sustaining unity in diversity and national integration, beyond sloganeering leap-service by leaders in governance positions at all levels.

“Elected national leaders in particular need to ‘walk the talk’ of national unity and integration, through the formulation and execution of sustainable policies, programmes and projects on national unity.”
