469 NIGERIAN LEGISLATORS MUST SUPPORT PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM NOW!

The Nigerian Electorate can no longer be fooled with the worthless Nigerian Naira Currency with which the current politicians bribed their ways into various government positions at federal and sub- national levels during the 2023 General Elections which produced the most ridiculous set of opportunists the country has ever encountered!
Reason: President 'Bola Tinubu who bulldozed his way to Aso Rock with an humongous"yet-to-be-investigated-deep- pocket" has DOLLARISED THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY through gross incompetence in governance! In Nigeria, anti-corruption agencies DO NOT INVESTIGATE SOURCES OF CITIZENS SUDDEN WEALTH/OVERNIGHT RICHES! And now the Nigerian Currency had been devalued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank both combined to force more foreign debts on nation's ailing and grounded economy!

QUESTION: HOW MUCH FOOD WILL THEIR BRIBE MONIES PUT ON 220 MILLION NIGERIANS TABLES?
FOR THE CORRUPT LEGISLATORS TO SUGGEST 2031 AS TRANSITION YEAR TO UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IS GREAT INSULT TO THE CITIZENS WHO HAVE SUFFERED 63 YEARS OF HUMAN DEGRADATION FROM INHUMANE LEADERS!
THE CABLE on 14th February 2024, reported as follows:
60 REPS. SPONSOR BILL TO INTRODUCE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM, TARGET 2031 FOR IMPLEMENTATION.
"A bill seeking to introduce the parliamentary system of government to the country has passed the first reading at the house of representatives. The bill, which is sponsored by 60 lawmakers, was introduced during the plenary on Thursday 15th February, 2024 Nigeria currently practices a presidential system of government which allows for a direct election of the president. Under the parliamentary system, the legislature appoints a prime minister, with a less defined separation of powers.
The lawmakers said they target 2031 as the year for the transition to the parliamentary system.
Briefing journalists after plenary, the lawmakers said the “imperfections” of the presidential system of government have “become glaring” to all.
Abdulsamad Dasuki, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member from Sokoto, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said the presidential system has “denied the nation the opportunity” of attaining its full potential.
“Among these imperfections are the high cost of governance, leaving fewer resources for crucial areas like infrastructure, education, and healthcare, and consequently hindering the nation’s development progress, and the excessive powers vested in the members of the executive, who are appointees and not directly accountable to the people,” Dasuki said. The lawmakers said they expect the bill to ignite, and provoke a national conversation about the future of the Nigerian governance system.
“To ensure robust public debates, stakeholder consultations, expert analyses, and a thorough and informed decision-making process, raise awareness about this significant development and encourage constructive dialogue on the potential implications of these proposed constitutional alterations,” they said.
“Our conviction is that a streamlined executive branch, which replaces the president and vice president with a prime minister and cabinet chosen from the legislature could lead to a smaller central government, reducing salaries and administrative expenses.
“We also hold strongly that shifting the election of governors and local government chairmen from the general election to votes within their respective legislative bodies could save billions spent on state and nationwide campaigns.”
A SIMILAR BILL WAS SPONSORED IN 2018 BUT DID NOT SCALE THROUGH IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PROCESS AT THE TIME.
IN THE INTERIM, TINUBU AND STATE GOVERNORS AGREE TO FLY ANOTHER KITE ON ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE POLICE?

According to Media report from CHANNELS TV there have been clamour for state police as Nigeria grapples with worsening security challenges such as kidnapping and banditry. Worried by the security challenges in the country, the Federal Government and state governors are considering the creation of state police.

This was part of deliberations between President Bola Tinubu and state governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday 15th February 2024.
While briefing journalists after the meeting, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, explained that the process is still in its infancy and would only take shape after more deliberations between stakeholders.
“Now, there is also a discussion around the issue of state police. The Federal Government and the state governments are mulling the possibility of setting up state police,” he said. “Of course, this is still going to be further discussed. A lot of work has to be done in that direction. Both the Federal Government and the state governments agree on the necessity of having state police. Now this is a significant shift. But as I said, more work needs to be done in that direction.
“A lot of meetings will have to happen between the Federal Government and the sub-nationals to see the modalities of achieving this. Now, these are some of the issues that have been discussed.”


Quest For State Police

There have been clamour for state police as Nigeria grapples with worsening security challenges such as kidnapping and banditry.
Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on Monday restated their position on state policing, as the solution to the country’s worsening security situation, lamenting that Nigeria is “almost on the road to Venezuela”.
Also, regional socio-political groups such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Middle Belt Forum, and the Northern Elders’ Forum, have repeatedly called for state police as solution the myriad of increasing security challenges confronting the nation.
Already, states in the South-West geopolitical zone have formed the Amotekun while their counterparts in the South-East also created state-owned security outfit Ebube Agu. The Benue Guards has also been operational in Benue State in the North Central while states like Katsina, Zamfara and other bandit-prone sub-nationals have also come up with similar state-established outfits.
However, these outfits have not been effective as anticipated as they don’t have the backing of the Federal Government or the Presidency while states continue to demand that Amotekun, Ebube Agu and others are granted license to bear assault rifles like AK-47 to confront lethal gun-toting marauders.


2014 NATIONAL CONFERENCE RECOMMENDATIONS IN RETROSPECT?

President Bola Tinubu and his collaborators/cabal in government were alive in 2014 when the National Conference was convoked and it's recommendations applauded by all citizens for implementation.
Ten (10) years on they now want to deceive the citizens again by pretending to review just one aspect in respect of State Police for consideration.
Nigerians are no longer fools. According to their discussions which are at the infant stage, they hope to perpetrate themselves in office until 2031 when Bola Tinubu would have completed EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE? That Will Not Happen!
DID THEY FACTOR THE ALMIGHTY GOD INTO THIS EQUATION? NO!
"Thus saith Lord, you have sown the wind and will surely reap the whirlwind; your evil plan to further subject My Children to sufferings will boomerang against you!
MY WILL FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOW AND SACROSANCT!
Obey the Lord and live or disobey and perish! A word is sufficient for the Wise!

[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
