	Professor Itse Sagay and the Campaign For the Relocation of Delta State's Capital
		We regret that some amongst our brethren in Asaba and its neighbourhoods have reacted with anger and insults to the views and perspectives canvassing for the relocation of the State Capital by leaders from the Old Delta Province, after which the present Delta State is named.
		We all wish to welcome Asaba and its neighbourhoods to the Delta fold, but not at the unacceptable cost of losing the capital of the State to an area brought into our State as a favour by a military ruler.
		An anomaly of Nigeria's political life is that we are currently governed under a 1999 Constitution that was imposed by military rulers.

		To this extent, the balanced development objective of revenue allocation has, paradoxically, created conditiohs of deepening crisis of underdevelopment and of grinding poverty in the Niger Delta where the mineral oil revenue generating resources are largely located currently.
		It can thus be argued that existing distorted and perverse fiscal federalism in Nigeria has essentially been a product of the fact that, with the prolonged military rule of the 1966-79 and 1984-99 periods, the 1963 Republican Constitution founded on the principle of democratic governance which provided for fiscal reviews every five ye^rs was jettisoned.
		Nigeria is currently richly endowed with the raw materials and resources for a robust petrol-chemical industry.

		When there was no country called Nigeria, Asaba was the civil headquarters of the territory ruled by the Royal Niger Company.
		According to the respected erudite Nigerian legal authority Elias T.S. Oluwole, in the "Makers of the Nigerian Law," 1963, Elias revealed that the Chief Justice of the new administration was Sir, James Marshall and the headquarters was at Asaba.
		Therefore, for Chief Okumagba the president of Urhobo Progressive Union to refer to Asaba as the capital of a fringe Delta group before the vice-president and the governor of a pluralist state is to hoodwink history.
