He also tasked the Senate President, Senator Goodwill Akpabio , the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Tajudden Abbas and all members of the National Assembly to as a matter of fact save the country from total collapse and start the process of midwifing a new Nigeria.
“This is a Prayer to Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to return Nigeria to Federal Parliamentary System of Eight regions. That these processes be pursued with vigour to transmutate your Excellency to a Prime Minister as head of premiers of Eight regions to birth a new stable Nigeria federation,” Oluwatade said.
Criticizing the presidential system of government in the country, Oluwatade said, “The military handed over “A Drain Pipe Democracy” in 1999. A destructured and deformed Nigeria state: 36 states, 744 local government areas. USA is 10 times the size of Nigeria and has 50 state, by Nigeria’s standard USA is supposed to have 360 states.California is about half of Nigeria which is under one Governor.
“This has created much employment opportunities for the politicians; 1 president and Vice, a bicameral National legislature, and 36 Governors and Deputies, 36 Houses of Assembly, etc. This is a Drain Pipe Democracy’, the cause of the bottomless fiscal corruption as been unfolded today.”.<
