Former Director-General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council , Dr Doyin Okupe, has faulted Federal Governments on its court case against states over local government autonomy.
Okupe, a former Presidential spokesperson ,expressed the position in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Sunday.
The former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC), described the Federal Governments legal battle against the states for autonomy as needless and unfortunate.
According to him, in a true federal system, there are only two component units- the federal and the states.
We should run a true federal system in which there are two bodies coming together for a union: the Federal Government and sub-nationalities.
