Unsurprisingly, this is how the game is played in my dear country.
The party of the incumbent governor determines who owns and controls the majority members of the parliament.

No matter which side of the divide you so belong, this is very bad for democracy. Governance in Nigeria now has been reduced to a total joke, whether APC or PDP, a very sad situation.

Can someone explain the benefit of decamping to me. I dont see why they should if they won their elections. They can always work with the governor even being in different parties. Any political gridlock should be minor depending on the issue. Shouldn't they be affraid when re-elections come up knowing they turned their backs on their constituents.
