House Of Representatives Members Advocate For Nigeria’s Return To Parliamentary System....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a significant move, several members of the House of Representatives are championing constitutional reforms aimed at reinstating the parliamentary system of government in Nigeria…….CONTINUE READING
Led by Lagos lawmaker Wale Raji, these representatives are proposing a bill to amend the 1999 constitution, transitioning the country back to parliamentary democracy as witnessed during the first republic.
Addressing the media ahead of the bill’s presentation, spokesman Abdussamad Dasuki highlighted the potential benefits, including a substantial reduction in election costs. He noted that the envisioned transition is targeted for the 2031 general elections.
Dasuki emphasized bipartisan support for the bill, with approximately 60 members from various political parties endorsing it.
The proposed alterations seek to replace the current presidential system with a parliamentary one at all governmental levels, fostering greater accountability and responsiveness. Advocates argue that the presidential system’s shortcomings, such as high governance costs and excessive executive powers, necessitate a new approach.
Under the parliamentary system, the President would assume a ceremonial role, while a Prime Minister selected from the legislature would serve as the head of government. This restructuring aims to streamline governance, enhance collaboration between branches, and increase legislative oversight.
The proponents of these reforms aspire to spark a national dialogue on Nigeria’s governance future, fostering robust public discourse and informed decision-making.
Ultimately, the advocates envision a governance system that prioritizes the nation’s interests, propelling Nigeria towards its full potential.

ATIKU BLITZES EFCC: Freezing Osun Accounts Is A Direct Declaration Of War On Nigerian Democracy!.
The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has slammed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for freezing the Osun State Government’s statutory allocation account, labeling the move a dangerous threat to democracy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement released in Abuja on Thursday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku highlighted several key points:
-
Suspicious Timing: Coming just days ahead of the state governorship election, the timing casts serious doubts on the neutrality of federal agencies and undermines public trust in the electoral process.
-
Disruption of Governance: Restricting the state’s main account threatens to stall governance, delay worker salaries, disrupt vital public services, and foster an environment of political intimidation.
-
Weaponization of Institutions: Atiku warned that anti-corruption bodies must strictly follow due process and avoid actions that make them look like partisan tools deployed to sabotage opposition-led governments during critical political windows.
-
Targeting the Opposition: Claiming this is part of a broader trend under President Bola Tinubu’s administration—following previous issues with local government allocations—Atiku argued that freezing these funds directly punishes ordinary Osun citizens rather than just political elites.
-
Call to Action: He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security forces to stay impartial, accusing President Tinubu of pursuing victory at all costs, and called on all defenders of democracy to unite against the misuse of state powers.
