Why States ‘d Be Given Much Power Under My Administration – Tinubu

Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress‘ (APC) presidential candidate, has pledged to strengthen Nigeria’s federal system so that subnational organisations can take on additional duties.

According to him, “My administration will re-balance the responsibilities and authorities of the different tiers of government. We will collaborate with the National Assembly and State Governments to amend our national governance architecture such that States are afforded the autonomy and resources needed to better serve the people.”

Tinubu added that his administration would review the constitutional legislative lists to ensure that States are given greater control over certain critical matters.

He said focus areas will include crime prevention, prisons, stamp duties and certain forms of taxation.

Regarding resource distribution, the APC standard-bearer declared he will study the federal government’s mechanism for allocating revenue in order to rebalance how money is distributed among the three levels of government.

“More funds should be allocated to the States and Local Governments so that they can better address local concerns and fulfill their expanded constitutional obligations to the people”, he stated.
