Okey Bakassi, a well-known comedian, has encouraged the Nigerian government to get rid of state origin laws there.
State of origin, according to Bakassi, is a weapon of division.
Bakassi predicted that Nigeria would become more united with the state of residence in remarks he made over the weekend in Lagos.
According to Bakassi, “If we want to improve the unity of this country, we should all campaign for the abolishment of’state of origin’ and emphasize’state of residence’.
“I don’t understand why we should be filling out forms asking individuals for their’state of origin’ or ‘tribe’ in 2023.
Is a person’s performance in office influenced by the tribe they belong to?
“In my opinion, a person’s state of residence ought to be more significant to them than anything else. It makes no contribution to the advancement of the nation.
He demanded that laws be passed to alter the current system.
