THIS NEXT LEVEL MUST ERASE THE WASTEFUL PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 8.NO 312. 4th August, 2019.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32). . PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

THIS NEXT LEVEL MUST ERASE THE WASTEFUL PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA!
Concerned patriotic citizens of Nigeria believe that there could be no better LEGACY for President Muhammadu Buhari to bequeath as he serves out his second term in office, than to revert governance to the parliamentary system which was treasury-friendly and effortlessly fulfilled the fundamental rights of the people in areas of security, economy, education, health facilities, employment opportunities, shelter etc, as was the case from independence before the military interregnum!

The people enjoyed better life opportunities without parochial consideration, tribal sentiments, nor social discrimination/classification but as one united people which cared for one another!
But now, the youths have suddenly metamorphosed into Frankenstein monsters -- social miscreants, street children, insurgents, bandits, militants, gunmen and terrorists - especially in the past 20 years of the new democratic dispensation, because political jobbers of successive administrations short-changed them by forcing them into the illiterate world of the STONE AGE and invariably turned them into brutish beasts!

Although, heinous social crimes of kidnappings/homicides have turned out to be no respecter of persons considering the fact that the genre of victims cut across all facets of human discipline, We still believe in the determination of President Buhari to change the unpleasant scenario in no time for he is the divine Crusader who MUST give account of his stewardship to the Fathers of Lights who sent him!

To the ever greedy Nigerian politician, especially the LEGISLATORS, the presidential system is gold-mine, it is Eldorado, a  condition of advantageous illicit financial flow through which all manner of dubious economic transactions contrary to good governance were cleverly executed!
The Nigerian type of presidential system opens its doors for treasury looters who hide behind the faulty 1999 military-conceived and crafted Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to perpetrate all manner of heinous financial crimes from one administration to another through annual budget padding and dubious/illegal legislative oversight duties, unknown to the constitution!

The mono-economic crude oil foreign exchange earner did not help matter because those politicians were able to manipulate the system, acquired for themselves and their cronies Oil Licences through which they were able to penetrate the Oil and Gas Sector to become billionaires at the expense of the perpetually average youth/poor worker who could hardly survive with one US dollar (N360 naira), per day!

BRAZEN CORRUPTION AT NNPC!
In spite of the fact that President Buhari held on to the Ministry of Petroleum Resources portfolio in his first term, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), under his watch, was still perceived to be a citadel of corruption because of the deliberately-infused intricacies of financial accountability through the Petroleum Act which established it and also by its officials, who have taken criminal advantage of the entire commotion that allows the corporation to keep certain percentages of financial accruals for "running costs" without first remitting all oil sales/financial transactions into the Federation Account and by extension, to the Treasury Single Account (TSA), before such deductions were effected!

Although it is gratifying that Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachukwu and Group Managing Director, Mai Kanti Baru, who publicly washed their dirty linens over accusations/denials in respect of illicit NNPC contract awards running into billions of US dollars during the President's first term had been cleverly eased out, that unacceptable administrative step had in no way erased the fact that NNPC cannot boast of a clean slate of annual forensic financial audit records even under the president's eagle eye!

Most Nigerian billionaires made their dollars as recipients of illegal OIL BLOCS while Nigeria is adjudged as one of the most corrupt nation and its citizens, the poorest mass of people in the world because NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT, CAN AUTHENTICATE THE BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL EXPORTED FROM THE NATION ON DAILY BASIS!

Should Nigerians continue to suffer in the midst of so plenteous natural resources while very few percentage of privileged politicians continue to take advantage of a deliberately faulty system of DIARCHY instead of GENUINE/TRANSPARENT DEMOCRACY?

ARISE AND SHINE MR. PRESIDENT!
President Buhari MUST rise from the onset of his second term last opportunity as a DEMOCRAT to prove his detractors wrong by putting his very best into the ring and defeat those who want to smear his IMPECCABLE INTEGRITY by not only stealing but squandering the COMMON WEALTH through frivolities and vanities of dubious salaries/allowances which they claimed were legitimate perks of office in all departments and sectors of the economy!
Between 1999 and 2018, legislators pretentiously made several attempts to amend the contentious Constitution without success because those bunch of egotistic lawmakers, at every turn, tinkered with the rules of engagement to favour themselves over and above the other tiers - the EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIARY!

ATTEMPTS BY 7TH-8TH NASS TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION!
The 7th National Assembly collected a "working capital" of over ONE BILLION NAIRA from the treasury to enable the Joint Committee of both chambers to function seamlessly and without any form of financial hitch.
Amendments to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Fourth Alteration) Act 2015, as presented by the National Assembly, met all statutory provisions as set forth in the 1999 Constitution. For instance, the two thirds majority resolution of States Houses of Assemblies were obtained according to Section 9(3) and not less than four fifths majority of all members of each House of the National Assembly, were also secured!

Although, the Nigerian Constitution is  silent on presidential assent for Constitutional amendments, the legislators decided in the spirit of  mutual co-operation of checks and balances, to send them like any other Bill of the National Assembly [NASS], that required such assent to become an Act, it was therefore a surprise that the outgoing  President could VETO the document; but in a letter dated13th April, 2015, to NASS, the ex-President Ebele Jonathan, rejected the Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution (Alteration) Bill 2015 because he perceived deliberate attempts by the very ambitious Federal Lawmakers to whittle down presidential powers!
The 8th NASS also made similar moves shortly before the 2019 General Elections especially in respect of Amendments to the Electoral Act 2010, to regulate the conduct of Federal, States and Area Councils' Elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and were rebuffed by President Muhammadu Buhari who discovered several "booby traps" in the document which was submitted FOUR desperate times for presidential assent!

INTRODUCTION OF PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT FROM THE YEAR 2023!
For starters, the SENATE must be scrapped before the commencement of a new government in 2023, for a single unicameral parliament that will be people-friendly to come on board! Unicameral parliamentary governance is popular globally because the practice enables government to save more money to cater for masses social infrastructures and also create employment opportunities for Small and Medium Scale Entrepreneurs (SMSEs), who are the backbone of the Real Sector of the economy!
THE SENEGALESE GOVERNMENT ERASED THEIR SENATE IN 2012 TO PROVIDE FOR MORE FUNDS TO SUCCOUR THE VERY POOR IN THEIR NATION!

BUHARI MUST REMEMBER THAT HE WAS DIVINELY-CHOSEN TO SAVE THE TALAKAWAS FROM TOTAL ANNIHILATION BY POLITICAL PREDATORS!

Between the Nigerian Senate and its House of Representatives counterpart, N150 billion naira is consumed annually from the national budget with no visible or feasible impact on the downtrodden masses they claim to represent!
