Ekweremadu Advocates Return To Parliamentary System Of Government.. by BeeBeeOoh(m): 5:03am On Dec 29, 2017 |
The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has identified high cost of governance and inherent disconnect between political leaders and the populace as the major flaws of the presidential system of government. http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/12/29/ekweremadu-advocates-return-to-parliamentary-system-of-govt/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

One of the few Senators who knows his salt. Always making sense that at times I wonder why smart people like Ekweremadu get involved in our tribalistic politics. Abaribe and Shehu Sani are the other two- bright men with youthful vigor. Presidential materials. Meanwhile Remi Tinubu is confused. Modified: Added imagery for Buhari supporters 56 Likes 1 Share

Fool!shness at peak. How about you start by publishing the salaries and yearly funds allocated to the National Assembly for AMUROBBER.. Nothing is going to change as long as you have these set of corrupt people with old ideas running the affair of this country.OBJ wasnt crazy when he said even Jesus Chris cant rule this country....Sssshior 17 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigeria does not need any parliamentary system of government. What Nigeria needs is a good electoral system. Parliamentary system works well where people cherish the principles of consensus building and give and take. Nigeria is too disorderly for such a system. Nigerians are cannot trust each other. There is no region that can survive this system. Imagine for a second if Nigeria were Germany where the Chancellor is still struggling to form her government after several months of election. (Note - this is not the same as Buhari taking eternity to appoint ordinary ministers.) Italy and Japan were practically changing prime ministers every 1 or 2 years in the recent past. Imagine the chaos and the level of instability that would have caused the Nigeria's economy. And it is not that Nigeria has not practiced it before. Parliamentary system was what our founding fathers started with in the 1960s shortly after Independence. It failed woefully. The military simply took advantage of lack of cohesion to stage their coup d'etat which led to us where we are now. Nigerian politicians are even more unruly now than they were in those days. The country itself is just too fragmented now, more than at any time in our history. How would the APC have functioned in a parliamentary system with their disjointed structure where everyone is the lord? You can argue for eternity about the cost of running a presidential system, it won't change anything. It is not that the parliamentary system too would be entirely free of costs. Moreover, it is doubtful if there are verifiable scientific evidence (published researches/studies) supporting the assertion. Much of the argument on cost reductions have been purely conjectures at best and wishful thinking at worst. Nigeria needs strong electoral system and this presidential system would just be fine. This is the 18th straight year we have been on it. One of the main problems right now is that the traditional watchdogs - the civil society and the media - are not effective with holding Buhari to account on many fronts. They seem to be struggling with playing their role in the age of new media or they have been bought or cowed into submission. The Nigeria's media and the intelligentsia were most feared and indeed respected across the world. Until they fell into Buhari and his government's spell by helping to dish out lies and demonic propaganda - becoming accomplices in disparaging people's characters. 43 Likes 4 Shares |

porka: Are you saying that Nigerians are flawed people? That we cannot change to and maintain whatever system we want? That we are not masters of our own being? I strongly disagree. 1 Like 1 Share |

LessNoise: The reason why there is so much talk and very little action is because a presidential system is designed to make changes slow and arduous. That is probably why the man wants to change it to a parliamentary system and I completely agree with him. If you truly want change, this is the way to go. 3 Likes |

Most Definitely, If only all Nigerians realised that this Is the way out of our National quagmire. The Military truncated our democracy along with this salient component, citing deep-seated corruption which we have since witnessed pale in comparison with each successive military and democratic civilian albeit presidential government. 2 Likes |

Obijulius: Actually, the idiomatic expression is either 'worth his salt' of 'knows his onions'. There's nothing like know his salt. Actually, Ekweremadu and Abaribe are senators who are the worst of all scums. Even TA Orji is better than them. At least, we all know TA Orji has no value and is as useless as an eunuch's manhood. Ekweremadu and Abaribe rile up their gullible people and consistently give them reasons why their performance is mediocre. Unfortunately, their gullible constituents like you swallow the lies hook, line, sinker and pole. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

What really is the meaning of EKWEREMADU! I asked because as powerful as this man is in the Senate, he will never raise anything that is germaine as this He ALMOST ALWAYS move serious motions whenever he is in the midst of some Ogogoro society! Hope introducing some Ogogoro in the chamber won't help this man to be more active for common man? 1 Like 1 Share |

Obijulius:Don't be too sure. Parliamentary government will be a disaster for Nigeria democracy. Granted, monies will be saved by reducing the cost of government but much more will be lost through corruption and a watered-down legislative oversight. 4 Likes |
