Olajide told newsmen that the president needed to return the nation to the era of revenue generation and not sharing of allocation.
“In the letter, I told him that his victory carries enormous responsibilities among which were the need to ensure national unity and a revisit of the El-Rufai’s committee report on restructuring.“He assured me that the suggestions will be given adequate cognisance,” he said.The YCE leader said the nation could achieve rapid growth and development with true federalism which allowed devolution of powers.
Olajide said that there were only 14 items on the exclusive list in the First Republic and the rest were residual for the states. He also called on the president to make national unity a priority, urging him to ensure that all parts of the country were given a sense of belonging through appointments and projects.
“He must ensure that the people remained the centre of all their decisions, including security of lives and properties.” The YCE leader said that civil security agencies and not military should play roles in elections, suggesting recruitment of more personnel for the police as well as NSCDC to meet up with the required number.
