Ben Murray Bruce Is Speaking Common Sense About Power Devolution

Ben Bruce is challenging the Federal Government to devolve power to state level. He said there is nothing the Fedral Government does that the state can't do apart from foreign exchange, Central Bank Of Nigeria and security. 

This is me speaking now. He's quite right to an extend, this is how Federalism is practised in the U.S that he are emulating. Greed will not let us do it properly, plus fear that the power of some cabal will be undermined or capped.

I Have Three Urgent And Important Things To Say To Nigeria And I Will Not Beat About The Bush. -Ben Bruce

I have three urgent and important things to say to Nigeria and I will not beat about the bush.

Let me start out this piece by saying that even though I am of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), I voted for Senator Bukola Saraki of the All Progressive Congress (APC), and I did it for Nigeria.

I am of the firm belief that political parties are created to serve the interest of the masses and not individual or group interests. That is my ethic in politics.

Why I Am Fighting The Elites - Ben Murray-Bruce

“I am fighting against the elite. Definitely, I am fighting them. When they drink that champagne that can educate a child, they should know that I am fighting them. You don’t fly a first class in government while in your private life, you fly economy. I am totally against their lifestyles.“We need to enact laws that favour the masses. The biggest problem in Nigeria today is that our consumption is on the high while production is low. Our leaders in APC, PDP, Labour, APGA and others are all guilty of one thing, which is consuming the resources of the majority of Nigerians.Imagine a situation where governors fly private jets, commissioners drive a twenty million naira car. Commissioners flying first class, living like kings while the state cannot pay salary of its workers. If a commissioner can have three or four policemen around him, who is policing the poor where they are being raped, maimed, robbed and killed?The question is what do we have for the masses? There are one hundred million people living on two dollars a day, in some places, the unemployment rate is 80 0r 90% and then you have governors living a champagne life. Small wonders in some places, thieves steal N50, N200, fishing nets and destroy the lives of the people”.
