Should Citizens Of Nigeria Have The Right To Referendums? by ConsensusGroup: 12:32pm On Apr 30, 2018 |
All of our pressing political challenges in Nigeria can be traced to the 1979 constitution which is, in essence, still in use today. It lays emphasis on a military-style presidential top-down government hierarchy rather than an inward-out collective and responsive government. Should citizens of Nigeria be given the right to referendums — not to sow disunity — but to strengthen democracy and foster participation in our governance as constitutional changes can, at present, only be effected by parliament? |
