Because the constitution is very clear. The president is in charge of the entire country we call Nigeria today. But the state governors, 36 of them, were voted in their respective states as he was voted in the whole country. So they have their states under them; they control their states. They are the chief security officers of their states,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr President cannot go to states and go and dictate to them. We are not in a military government. The president has enormous powers but there are areas where it must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 94-year-old then proposed legal redress to those who believe the governors\u2019 resolution was flawed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I would advise in order not to cause confusion or crisis is that all those who doubt and have no belief in the governors\u2019 statement go to court to challenge it.
