Bayelsa has 8.In sharing local government allocations, Kano gets 44 parts, Lagos 20 and Bayelsa (the source of the revenue with terrible environmental degradation from oil) will get 8 parts?”
Ogbu who was a delegate to 2014 National conference said the conference cured the injustice by recommending that local government should no longer be a third tier of the federal structure but should be delisted in the constitution and transferred to the states to be covered by the laws of the House of Assemblies.
He added that the conference also cured the injustice of inequality of states against south-eastern region by recommending that additional state be created for them, saying, ”Ndigbo cannot have a true sense of belonging in the federation until this anomaly is corrected”.
He also advocated for state police, arguing that its advantages outweighs its disadvantages as Nigeria was ripe for it, especially with the rising security challenges.
He further maintained that there should be devolution of powers in federal exclusive list to delist items such as Agriculture and Health, among others and put them in Concurrent list for effective governance.
