A group, Yoruba Conservative Union, a rally held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital called for the adoption of a regional system of government in Nigeria as against the Unitary system of government.
According to them, the regional system of government will allow each system to control the resources in its territory and pay royalties to the Federal Government.
On Monday, November 11, the National coordinator of the group, Ayodeji Optimist, said: “There would be a competition, every region would want to develop, the resources of each region would remain there and the token, like 20% will be taken to the Federal, so it won’t be a case of Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop.”
Ibraheem Bashir on his part said: “I support regional government because I believe it can help us develop our local government and help us diverse our needs.
“If we adopt the regional system, our revenues stay in the region, and we would be able to improve our country better.”
