Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that Nigerian State Governors are more powerful than President Muhammadu Buhari.
Obasanjo stated this in an exclusive interview with a Liberian-based news portal, “African Argument”.
Obasanjo also described the biafra agitators as being ignorant.
He said: “The protesters do not even know what the struggle is all about, but if it gives them false hope, why not hang onto it? Let the elders handle it, or ignore it until it loses momentum.
“There are elders in any community who are still respected… After all, they are their fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, and can still be used effectively”, he said.
On federalism, Obasanjo said he does not believe in it, and that those talking about devaluation and true federalism, do not know what they were talking about.
“I do not believe in true federalism. What is true federalism? Why are they not accountable? What powers do they not have?”
Obasanjo added: “In fact, State Governors are more powerful than the President. That is the truth.”
“If anybody tells you they want devolution or true federalism, he does not know what he is talking about.”
He advised that if “youth empowerment, skill acquisition and youth employment, education, are provided, the ticking bomb of possible youth explosion out of restiveness and anger will subside. In fact, State Governors are more powerful than the President.”
