True federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, such as states or regions. In a truly federal system, each level of government has a degree of autonomy and is responsible for specific functions.
The advocates of true federalism in Nigeria argue that it would allow for greater regional autonomy, more effective governance, and a more equitable distribution of resources. However, critics question the feasibility and desirability of such a system, citing concerns about fragmentation, inequality, and the potential for conflict.
“The call for true federalism in Nigeria has been gaining momentum in recent years. But what exactly is true federalism, and how would it work in practice? At its core, true federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, such as states or regions.
For instance, in the United States, the federal system allows for significant regional autonomy, with each state having its own constitution, laws, and institutions. Similarly, in Germany, the federal system provides for a high degree of autonomy for the individual states, known as Länder.
However, critics argue that true federalism could lead to fragmentation, inequality, and conflict. They point to the example of Somalia, where a weak central government has led to a breakdown in law and order.
Despite these concerns, many Nigerians believe that true federalism is the key to unlocking the country’s full potential. By providing for greater regional autonomy and more effective governance, true federalism could help to address the country’s many challenges, from poverty and inequality to insecurity and corruption.
As the debate over true federalism continues, it is essential to consider the evidence and the arguments on both sides. By doing so, we can work towards a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous Nigeria for all.
Some Nigerians are calling for changing the system of Nigeria’s Democratic practice from liberal democracy to what they called “true federalism”. Many political Democratic experts questioned the meaning of the system called “true federalism”. Prof J. E. Philips asked the same question as did Prof Richard Joseph of Illinois university, USA. “True federalism is not known to global academics”.
But up till now some Nigerians that were described by former President of Nigeria late Dr. Nnamdi Azikuwe (of blessed memory) “as an empty-headed megaphone” are still agitating and insisting for what they called “true federalism”.
But what is true federalism? Unfortunately they failed to shed light on what is true federalism and where it is being practiced in the world. And what is the success story of the system in some parts of the world especially in an emerging democracies like Nigeria.

…How he was dubiously recruited to dent the image of the Deputy Senate President.
It’s indeed absurd, barbaric, shameful and utterly disgusting watching a renowned fugitive and mere nonentity called Jafar Jafar pouring out baseless and unmerited accusations against the Deputy Senate President with aura of confidence and blindfolded hatred all in a bid to fully satisfied his pay masters who are all out to tarnish the image of Senator Barau Jibrin and curtail his excess in regards to the massive popularity and acceptance the Senator is currently enjoying in the political hemisphere of Kano politics.
The said Jafar Jafar is known to be a chronic critics who is enjoying exile in United Kingdom and widely known for his concocted criticism of popular politicians and a ready made tool for hire by the unscrupulous politicians who used him to tarnish and dent the image of more popular or superior opponent in the guise of protecting human rights and democratic ethics as he and his like are always a waiting tools ready to do the bidding of their pay masters. That’s the lucrative deals they are known to nourish and enjoy as their major source of generating income to lavish for their lives style abroad. Any politician that is seeking for loose tongue that would shamelessly criticize and concocted baseless and unmerited lies against a known opponent, Jafar and his comrades in crime are always ready and willing to dance in as much as the payment is suitable and ideal for their dirty work. That what’s they stand for and are always ready to hide behind their ulterior motives claiming to be a social critics that stand for the downtrodden. What’s a hypocrisy at its very best!
The said Jafar Jafar was on air recently in which he shamelessly poured out a sentimental opinion full of dubious tendency claiming that the popular Senate President was the brain behind every politically motivated uproar and crises in the state that were perpetuated to impress the President so as to bare the ruling party ineffective and lacking support of the State populace. He claimed to have a confidential information at his disposal which outrightly indicated that Senator Barau Jibrin was behind the crises raging on in the state simply because of his desire to seek the governor seat comes 2027 election. A baseless and unfounded allegations which hold no iota of truth in totality.
His claimed to have secretive and sensitive information in regards to the security of the State is indeed laughable and beret of logic or authenticity. He is not a security officer or working with any intelligence agency. As he is based in UK, one found it absurd and illogical for him to claimed to be in possession of any secret information. His words and claimed won’t be given any regards for the man is full of sentiment and known to be a member of NNPP whose opinion on any issue tend to bear political colouration that would favour his party and it’s hierarchy. Listening to him would leave an audience with an impression of a desperate soul doing the bidding of pay masters and nothing more.
The man Jafar is simply playing to the gallery. He lacks integrity, honesty, acceptance or deep political knowledge for his words to be given a slight of consideration. The opponent’s who are afraid and wallowing in hopeless facade over the rising of the political profile of Senator Maliya were the ones that sponsored the loose tongue to concocted the lies and senseless allegations inorder to score a political point. They are in a bunch of desperados who are fully engaged in seeking every possible avenue to castigated the current most talk about politician, Barau Jibril. The fear of the said politician whom they naturally considered as their major and dangerous threat in their bid to maintain the status and continue to extort and deflect the ancient city of Kano.
It is vividly noticed and acknowledged by the opponents and opposition alike that the Said powerful Senator would surely and with ease topple their inconsistent and ineffective government comes 2027, as such any attack or political confrontation with the said Senator would brighten their narrow chance of retaining the exalted seat comes 2027. As such and his likes would be patronise to ensure the successful execution of their dubious plot. Pity !
It’s ironic, devastated and sheer madness that any misfortune that befalls any politician or any incident that has political colouration in is always ascribed and interpreted to be the handwork of Senator Maliya. Are they doing justice to this pious and gentle politicians? Absolutely not. The current scenario erupted when the Nigerian Police Force in the State based on the intelligence report tried to caution and warned the State Government against holding a Tijjaniya Sect National Gathering schedule to hold in Kano. The Government decided to do away with caution and suggestions from the said Intelligence Unit and go ahead with selected date and protocol of the event. The allegations and senseless attacks on the Senator erupted and the said Jafar shamelessly claimed that Ganduje should not be blame for instigating Crisis and all the blames should be target to the Senator as the mastermind of the unfortunate incidents if any at all.
The idea of contesting of the governorship of the State has indeed jolted, rattle and terrified the opposition in the state. Is becoming a nightmare for them as such would do everything possible to crippled and destroyed the said ambition through blackmail and fabricated and baseless lies.
And it’s also a bigger threats to those nursing the ambition from the same party. As the opposition are rattle and disturbed, then same with in-house ambitious politicians. The raising profile coupled with in depth political moves of the Senator is what is given them a sleepless night. Was it a crime to be ambitious and seek a positions in the political arena simply because he is the all powerful politician Senator from the State? It’s not fair at all. Everyone can crave and seek for elective positions in the party as it was a tight granted to everyone according to our constitution. Then why Maliya ambition if any can cause this hullabaloo and grambling in the political arena ? The Senator has a right to seek for any positions as such those nursing the same ambition should just gear up and prepare for battle with him. Is a democracy and all are equal in the eyes of constitutional provisions.
The Senator extraordinary performance in the discharge of his duty made him a shining star in the nation political horizon. Called him an undisputed Senator that has distinguished himself among his colleagues and was accepted with the nationwide commendations of his unique and extraordinary performance in the apex chamber. No Senator dead or alive has done what the said Maliya is doing now in his Senatorial Zone, state and the Nation at large. Not mention his absolute and resilience which led to the formation of Northwest Development Commission. An idea designed, initiated, tender, lobby and executed on his solo efforts that was greeted with wide applause.
As such he is been perceived and castigated by all who are afraid of his shadows. Having achieved the position and status of no1 Senator in the area of provision of democratic dividend of democracy, his amazing and rapidly raising profile made him a target by opposition and in-house detractors. But the truth is widely open. No matter the efforts opposition and in-house enemies are designing and calculating, the truth of the matter is simply open for any reasonable personality to see and interpreted. The said Senator is indeed unstoppable as such the more you keep castigated or fabricating lies against him, the more his recognition and acceptance keep spreading like a wildfire in the State Political horizon.
Let’s the opposition and in-house detractors bear in mind that the Senator would continue with glaring performance coupled with in depth and calculative political moves. They should gear up and concentrate on how to win the political battle with the said ambitious Senator Jibrin when the time manifested. Lies, blackmail, fabricated and baseless accusations, name-calling and all other political vices been cooked or about to be cooked would not deter or crippled his political ambition. He is like.a high speed moving train and any mortal that date stop him would surely be crushed and dismantle by the all powerful Senator .
Let the unethical and shameless journalist Jafar Jafar wake up from his deep slumber and realise that the Senator has attained a height and aura of political lion who is all out to terrorise the political jungle in the state by truncating any confrontational elements that stand on his way. He has established himself as a formidable and strong politician with glittering antecedents as such the opposition should continue the traits as the Senator is up and equal to the task
We are watching and waiting…
