Only Four States In Nigeria Are Viable, Says Pastor Tunde Bakare

The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, and a delegate to the National Conference, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said that only10% of Nigeria's 36 states are viable. He made the assertion on SaharaTV over the weekend, while discussing his expectations of the National Conference.

"All the states created were created by military fiat," he said. "Hardly do you find ten percent of the states in Nigeria viable."

Pastor Bakare who represents Ogun state at the ongoing National Conference in Abuja suggested that the solution to the problem of unviable states is not nullification of states. Rather, he sees, the restructuring of the nation along geopolitical zones where each zone can decide the number of states it wants within the zone.
