He revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, monitorered by our reporter. He rather charged citizens and stakeholders on unity.
The Governor disclosed that he believes in “economic restructuring, more economic and political powers” for state governments, rather than a total breakup of the country.
Oyetola statement reads: “What I believe in is that for us to live together as a people, every unit of the enclave should have rights and responsibilities clearly defined.
“To me, restructuring does not mean that people should separate. Whoever is thinking along that line is not serious.
“We have come a long way, and it is togetherness that can make us get to where we are supposed to be within the space in the world.”
The Governor suggested that people should rather advocate for devolution of powers rather than subscribing to the agitation for secession. States needs more power, Oyetola noted.
He stressed further that “I believe in devolution of power to the states, let the states have more power to do most of the things they have been doing.
“Give the states more support, and I believe we should look at the issue of revenue allocation. We should allow the states to have more funds to develop some of the things they have.”
