The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said on Wednesday that Nigeria is practicing a bastardized federal system of government that is tilted more toward a unitary system. He said if the country must practice federalism, it has to be a true federalism. Oyegun, who spoke at a public presentation of APC committee report on true federalism, said true federalism entails devolution of power to the federating units, while states are allowed to determine the nature of local government they want. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the party spent about N150 million to fund the activities of the committee on True federalism. He, however, added that the money came from the party coffers and not from the government. The APC Chairman said that past national conferences were flamboyantly organised and ended up without any positive contribution to the debate on true federalism. He said the APC has gone beyond such ...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the report of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on restructuring, describing it as a ruse and fresh attempt to beguile Nigerians with another round of lies, empty proposals and hollow promises ahead of the 2019 elections. Saying that it is a recast of APC’s deceptive stunts in the run up to the 2015 general elections, the PDP also said the report is another calculated ploy by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to divert public attention from the woes of a worsening economy, unrelenting killings, corruption and the endless litany of afflictions occasioned by ruling party’s dysfunctional governance. In a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said it amounted to outright depravity that the same APC leaders who at assumption of office, rejected restructuring would now suddenly turn around to pose as fathers of a restructured Nigeria simply because the 2019 general elec...
