Leader of the Odua People’s Congress (OPC) and the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has said that true federalism remain the only solution to Nigeria’s myriad of problems.
He said the challenges facing the country would only get worse except adoption of unitary system of government is discouraged.
Adams, who spoke at a public function in hometown, Arigidi-Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of Ondo State, maintained that government’s urgent implementation of true federalism was the only way to save the nation from disintegration.
He said: “It is very clear that lack of proper coordination of the nation’s governance has led to insecurity, economic downturn, and deteriorated institutions, among other things.
“With the insecurity issues in Nigeria, there is nothing that can be done if we do not have federalism. If we do not allow federalism on the basis of regionalism, I’m afraid within two years, this country will break.
“You can see how the wave is coming. Not only wave of insecurity, even the economy, depreciating of institution, lack of coercion in governance. Definitely, there is danger ahead if the Nigerian government did not act fast to restructure Nigeria to regionalism.”
