He made this known yesterday at a town hall meeting with the Igbo community in Jos, Plateau State.

“Nigeria is in dire need of true federalism because our progress as a nation is anchored on if we are practising true federalism.

“A structure where power is concentrated at the centre and making states and local governments as beggars is abuse of democracy. This has made the country poorer.

“When I become president in 2023, I will ensure the country’s political structure is restructured in accordance with the principles of true federalism,” he said.
