FRESH DEVIOUS PLAN TO TRUNCATE PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY BY NASS!
All legislators of Nigeria’s National Assembly (NASS), are birds of a feather! They are united to further loot the crumbs of the Nation’s economy resources left behind after 30 years of Military interregnum! And so far, they have succeeded to mercilessly rob the Treasury Single Account (TSA), for 25 years through a deliberate Presidential System that was very injurious to the Citizens and have left the entire population of over 220 million people totally devastated!
Who says that Civilians were not privy to the entire process of drafting, vetting and subsequent approval of the 1999 Military Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which debuted a “Democratic Diarchy” headed by retired General Olusegun Obasanjo?
It was a perceived opportunity for them to have equal or more years to LOOT the National Treasury more than the Military!
If they pull through with their devious plan, President Bola Tinubu would be re-elected in 2027 to fulfil the constitutional two-term tenure by which time they (“Civilians”) would have also looted the TSA for 31 Consecutive Years!
Please find below the dishonourable FAKE BILL to return Nigeria to Parliamentary Democracy which is a complete opposite of the NIGERIAN PATRIOTS demand from Mr. Tinubu with all specifics of execution and implementation within NINE MONTHS FROM 4TH AUGUST 2024!
BILL TO RETURN NIGERIA TO PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM SCALES SECOND READING AT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!
A bill seeking to return the country to a parliamentary system of government passed its second reading on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday, 27th March 2025. The bill was among 31 Constitution amendment bills passed for second reading at the plenary presided over by Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Okezie Kalu.
The proposed legislation, titled: “A Bill for an Act to Alter the Provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to Provide for the Office of the Prime Minister as Head of Government and the Office of President as Head of State and to Provide for a Framework for the Mode of Election to the Said Offices and for Related Matters (HB.1115)”, is sponsored by the House Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda, and 59 other lawmakers. If passed, the bill will replace the current presidential system with a parliamentary model, where executive powers will be vested in a Prime Minister elected by the legislature, while the President will serve as the ceremonial Head of State. Daily Trust reports that 60 members of the House of Representatives had on February 14, 2024 introduced three bills proposing alterations to the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended) to transition from the current presidential system to the parliamentary system of government by 2031. The bills are the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Alteration) Bill, 2024 (HB.1115); Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Alteration) Bill, 2024 (HB.1116) and Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Alteration) Bill, 2024 (HB.1117).
Briefing journalists after the introduction of the bills, the lawmakers said they came together across party affiliations and regional backgrounds to present the bills proposing constitutional alterations to pave the way for the transition of the system of government.
“Over the years, the imperfections of the presidential system of government have become glaring to all, despite several alterations to the constitution to address the shortcomings of a system that 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. “That (parliamentary) was the governance system of the First Republic, a period when legislative and executive powers were exercised by the representatives of the people in parliament and in the executive, and by the nature of the system, these representatives were accountable to the people. For six years while it was in operation, the system worked for the country,” he said. The lawmakers had argued that the return of Nigeria to the parliamentary system would make government accountable, responsible, responsive, and ultimately less expensive.
ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER BOARD OF MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN LEAD CRUSADER FOR PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IN OVERTIME 13 YEARS OF CAMPAIGN!
*In our campaigns We. Advocated that it was improper and foolhardy for a developing nation like Nigeria to adopt a Presidential system of government and that it was imperative that the Nigerian. Senate Must be shut down to remove wastages in government! In every annual budget the National Assembly usually allocated the sum of between NGN115 to 150 billion naira as their running costs and allowances but still complained that the amount was meagre.
The 469 predators of the Nigerian economy in both the Red and Green Chambers have annually inflated budgeting figures. By cornering for themselves large chunk of annual budgets through selfish demands for exotic vehicles, unconstitutional outrageous allowances outside of annual salaries as stipulated by Revenue Mobilization Agency for Fiscal Allocation in the following categories:
Monthly. Working allowances of NGN3.5 million naira each in addition to 15 other allowances gulping from between 10 to 400% of their SECRET Basic Salaries? With this new development now, it is very imperative that the NIGERIAN SENATE MUST BE SHUT DOWN for the downtrodden masses to be taken out of SELF-INFLICTED POVERTY!
The 9TH National Assembly previously. Mooted the same idea but it turned out to be a HOAX! At that time, over 70 Senators and their counterparts from the House of Representatives spear headed a similar document as this 2025 Model but it died on arrival!
But now that the campaign to dump presidential system of government for a unicameral parliamentary system has gained some attention it is meet and proper for the generality of all Citizens to have facts at figures to compare and contrast:
1. Unicameral or A One House System Of Government is a RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.
2. It is COST-FRIENDLY, COST-EFFECTIVE because Legislative Aspirants would not campaign across the entire country, but within their locality which are their CONSTITUENCIES.
3. Successfully elected parliamentarians would appoint from among themselves their leaders while the Party with the majority votes WILL PRODUCE THE PRIME MINISTER who becomes the head of government.
4. In a unicameral legislature, there are two executive posts, namely the Prime Minister which is the REAL EXECUTIVE and the CEREMONIAL and the CEREMONIAL EXECUTIVE who serves as figurative Head of State and concurs with cabinet activities as obtained when Nigeria became a Republic between 1963 and 1966.
5. At that time the first Prime Minister of Nigeria was Alhaji Tafara Balewa while the Ceremonial President was Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.
6. Daily proceedings and activities of the Cabinet were not run on the pages of newspapers or media networks like in the presidential system where they employ such strategy to gain publicity and divert public attention from real issues of persistent squandermania!
7. In the parliamentary system, the Day-to-day cabinet proceedings of government at appropriate times are disseminated by the Prime Minister or any designated Minister of the cabinet.
8. Unlike the presidential system there is no specific tenure of office for the Prime Minister as he/she remains in office for as long as he/she performs creditably. It could be tenure of ONE MONTH, THREE MONTHS, ONE YEAR, THREE YEARS as the case may be. It could even be ELEVEN YEARS like the IRON LADY, Late MARGARET THATCHER, 1979 to 1990!
9. The executive Prime Minister, who is a product of the legislative. Is responsible to the legislators, his colleagues and parliamentarians, with whom he shares a collective responsibility of the whole Council, because he and his ministers are elected from among other members of Parliament. (always addressed addressed as the Lower House, or in Britain as the House of Commons because the so-called common but very efficient citizens who dwell among their peers are able to run efficient and effective governments.
10. Towards the close of the last quarter of 2021, the British government encouraged its citizens to apply for loans that attracted only one digit interest to purchase personal houses because the government had a DEEP VAULT since its Treasury had not been continually looted like what we have in the Presidential System of Nigeria setting since 1999!
11. In a parliamentary system of government, a Prime Minister could resign at any time of his/hér tenure to avoid being kicked out through a vote of no confidence.
CONCLUSION:
Before this Bill being flaunted by the House of Representatives goes into THIRD AND FINAL READING, that idea of its implementation from 2031 MUST BE QUICKLY DELETED, CANCELLED, EXPUNGED!
It is very, very, glaring that these so-called representatives of the people are after their own pockets and what they could still amass through borrowing and become BILLIONAIRES BEFORE 2031!
QUESTION: What is wrong If Bola Tinubu becomes a ceremonial president in 2027. When the new Bill for parliamentary system will come into existence through the new Constitution?
There will be no more avenue for stealing or looting in Nigeria.
AND NOW THAT. MR. TINUBU HIMSELF HAS STAGED A MILITARY COUP IN RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA THEN ALL LOOTERS MUST BE READY TO FACE FIRING SQUAD!
“A word is enough for the wise.”
[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
