URGENT MATTER FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW; OSUN
STATE OF NIGERIA VS STATE OF OSUN: NOTATIONS OF PIUS AYIM- SECRETARY TO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE 7TH REPUBLIC: In August 2012 when
officials from Osun State of Nigeria visited the Secretary to the Government of
the 7th Republic Dr Pius Ayim, He chided the Osun state official
about the alteration in the status of Osun state to the new status of STATE OF
OSUN. Here it may appear simplistic to the uninitiated minds but to the
esoteric minds it is an invitation to tacit secession which the erudite
secretary cautioned the officials about. Here it is a direct pointer that the
Osun state by changing its name to State of Osun declares its own tacit
independence and sovereignty in philosophical argumentum. And this new
constitutional status passed by the Osun State House of Assembly is a direct
secessionist bid and with this new status THE STATE OF OSUN can now exercise
prerogatives above any other sovereignty or at pall, with de facto, de jure
instances of governance. In this context the new State of Osun can function as
a Country with de facto, de jure recognitions. The new State of Osun can create
its Local Governments Areas, can take full responsibilities for its security by
floating a parallel security initiative to that of the Federal Police
structure, can have its defense initiatives, can have its Customs unit, Immigration
force, own fleets of Aircraft for the state Chief Executive officer, own its
flag, coate of arm, Seals, can even prints its money… can have Embassies round
the entire world , can borrow, lend, raise developmental finance from any where
in the world and can make the Federal structure as irrelevant to them in the
schemes of things as they want… this potent great dangers to the mutuality of
collegiate 3 Tier of governance structures and the constitutional amendment
must as a matter of urgency address this issues.
