The call for a restructuring of Nigeria reverberated yesterday in Lagos and on the ascending order of magnitude as more prominent Nigerians made up of retired army generals are increasingly lending their voices.
In a book presentation which by a former Chief of Defence Staff, General Alani Akinrinade, entitled: Alani Akinrinade: My Dialogue with Nigeria, Governor Aregbesola of Osun State said his belief in federalism is total and absolute and there is no going back.
In attendance were former army Generals like Maj gen Ike Nwachukwu and others.
According to him, “Nigeria is the only Federation on earth where the police system is unitary. There is no other federation in the entire world where the internal security arrangement is unitary or directed from the centre.
“As we clamour for the total overhaul of our archaic federal system, let us start by demanding that the police should be restructured, as a first step. It is not only about state policing because even the structure of the police can be federated even as it is today. Why must the Commissioner of Police in a state report only to the Inspector General of Police? What is the duty of the zonal police command when the command in the state is not in any way connected to it? Let us federate the police, even in this awkward unitary structure. I am not saying that is the end, but let us even start from there.”
