Adamu Garba, a former presidential aspirant, has stressed that he will grant sovereign autonomy to the Republic of Biafra and Oduduwa if he becomes the president of Nigeria.
Garba stated this on his Facebook page on Tuesday, November 23, where he explained that granting autonomous sovereignty to Biafra and Oduduwa republics gives them freedom to be identified as Biafrans/Odu’as but also the suzerain right as Nigerians.
He wrote, “When I have the opportunity, I will change Country’s name to “The Nigerian Federation “ and grant sovereign autonomy to republic of Biafra and Oduduwa, all under the “Suzerainty” of the Nigerian Federation. Everyone will be respected. That’s all.
“So they can have right to self rule according to their culture and believes and views of the world. They can have a functional Parliarment including an elected President. But the Parliarment and the President would have to be approved by the Nigerian Federation.
“They will have autonomy in administration of their economic operations and resources under their lands with some shares of it coming to the Nigerian Federation Central Pool Reserve. They can also tackle the internal security challenges within their sovereign domain.
“The Nigerian Central Bank would remain the central issuing house for all the Federation and the Nigerian Naira would remain the central currency. Nigerian Military, the Federal Security network (DSS, NIA, etc) would have to be from the center. But Nigerian Police would have to be regionalized.
“So you have the presence of police under the exclusive control of the Regional Republics of Biafra, Oduduwa, etc.
“With this configuration, we would have solve the political problems affecting our country, which often leads to marginalization and eventual security issues.
“We would have given opportunity for all regions that wants a republic to build capacity for their internal security and come up with effective governance model for the approval of the Nigerian Federation’s General Assembly under the Federation’s President.
“This is the best way to reconfigure Nigeria and provide a lasting peace, respect, stability and economic growth for all members of the Federation.”
