Drama As Lamido Gives S’South Condition For Resource Control
“So, fellow delegates, I will like to advise us to take a cue from Mr. President and not the so-called civilised people of the South-West who always tell us that they have no permanent friends but permanent interests and who advocate same sex marriages and people like Chief Ayo Adebanjo, who even in his prime age of 86 is still ranting.” Thereafter, there were shouts of “point of order” raised by some delegates. But the unperturbed monarch retorted and said, “Why didn’t you call for the point of order when he was castigating me on Monday, last week?” But Adebanjo kept quiet. The Lamido also kicked against giving traditional rulers any role in the constitution. He said, “Mr. Chairman, but for traditional rulers, I don’t support the idea or the opinion to give us any role in the constitution. Our rules are conventions like the British Constitution and we have been performing them for hundreds of years and in some places, for over 1,000 years. “What traditional rulers in Nigeria want is recognition. So, I am pleading with this conference to please include in the next constitution, a provision which will provide for the National Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria, whose leadership will be three traditional rulers from each state, including the president of the traditional rulers council of that state. “Yesterday (Monday), I heard the ethnic nationality delegate saying that his people are marginalised because a district head was appointed in their area which they didn’t support. Mr Chairman, we shouldn’t listen to these ethnic chauvinists, because if we agree with their arguments, we will end up in a situation in Nigeria where every ethnic group will demand for the next President, governors, office, areas, emirs, obas, minister, chairmen of local government and many others. “So, Mr. President, we better thank God that the major tribes in Nigeria are tolerant, considerate and magnanimous; otherwise, we would have found ourselves in a different situation in Nigeria today.”
