State of Origin Behind Nigeria’s Disunity, Should Be Abolished – Okey Bakassi
Popular comedian, Okey Bakassi has opined that state of origin should be abolished. According to him, state of origin divides us the more. Speaking over the weekend in Lagos, Bakassi said Nigeria would be more united with the state of residence. According to Bakassi: “If we want to strengthen the unity of this country, we should all advocate the abolition of ‘state of origin’ and emphasise ‘state of residence’. “I don’t see why in 2023, we should be filling out a form and asking people for their ‘state of origin’ or ‘tribe’. “Is it the tribe one belongs to that will determine how the person will function in office? “I think what should be more important to anybody should be one’s state of residence. It does not contribute anything to national development.” He called for the enactment of laws that would change the system.
