Former Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has made a shocking confession: “We are now 17 years in democracy and for over 18 years the federal revenue allocation formula is yet to be reviewed.”“If resources are transferred to each of the 36 states of the federation, those who want to grow can continue to grow, those who want to sleep and go slowly, let them do so. Those who want to run as fast as lion should be allowed to run, that could lead to the competition that we should have.”
“The country did not need federal roads but rather, states and local governments should be empowered to do so while states should be allowed to manage their own power for efficiency in power distribution.”
“There are a lot of things we can do in the devolution of power and what I believe we must do is that, we can be mobilised to the National Assembly and tell our lawmakers what they must do as far as devolution of power is concerned.”
