 Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly perspective!

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 12. NO 514. 18th June, 2023.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

THE NIGERIAN PRESIDENTIAL DEMOCRACY AND POLITICIANS HAVE EXPIRED!  

Abraham Lincoln's definition of democracy is "a government of the people by the people and for the people". He was the 16th President of the US whose administration supported the abolition of SLAVE TRADE in America. Another and more acceptable definition states that democracy is "a Society in which the Citizens are Sovereign and control the government"; similar to what obtains in the current Nigerian military-packaged Constitution!

The United States of America, 4th July 1776-2023, GDP USD $23.32 trillion dollars (2021), acclaimed as the bastion of democracy, wielded executive presidential power and authority to provide overall socio-economic amenities to the advantage of its citizens who immensely benefitted from professional quality protection and highest per capita income among the comity of nations! Nigerian politicians claim that the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been largely copied from the United States system of democracy but failed to grow the nation's economy, derelicted in all social contracts - especially human development capital and in the security of lives and property of the Citizens! What stopped the military surrogates from adopting the British Parliamentary System which was cost-effective, citizens-friendly and security intensive in view of grassroots orientation and participation?

Although Nigeria like the USA is endowed with natural mineral resources and  arable agricultural lands all over the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the unpatriotic leaders preferred to enrich themselves and their cronies through organized CORRUPTION at the highest level of government with the God-given largesse rather than complement the Unalienable Fundamental Rights of the Sovereign Citizens!

PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS ANATHEMA TO DEVELOPING NATIONS - BECAUSE IT IS TOO COSTLY TO ADMINISTER WITHOUT MASSIVE INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUES (IGRs)!

Corruption has reduced the Security architecture of Nigeria into Boys Brigade and Scouts Companies for lack of sophisticated weapons from one administration to another and as a result, BOTH THE CRIMINALS AND RECYCLED/EXPIRED POLITICIANS GOVERN NIGERIA SIDE-BY-SIDE!

ASARI DOKUBO, former Niger Delta Militant Leader has told President 'Bola Tinubu that UNIFORMED ARMED SERVICE MEN - especially Nigerian Army and their Navy counterparts are now fully engaged in STEALING/MARKETING CRUDE OIL ON INTERNATIONAL WATERS WITH BRUTAL FORCE!

 Dokubo insisted that the military is at the centre of oil theft saying, “we have to make this very clear to the Nigerian public that 99 per cent of oil theft can be traced to the Nigerian military, the Army and the Navy especially.”

THE NAVY RESPONDS TO DOKUBO'S ALLEGATIONS!

Responding to the allegation, Nigerian Navy spokesman, Commodore Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan challenged the ex-militant to reveal the names of officers involved in crude oil theft noting, the allegation against the military is “spurious and unguarded”.

Nigeria has been universally indexed the MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD; THE MOST IMPOVERISHED, THE COUNTRY WITH THE WORST SECURITY CHALLENGES and THE DIRTIEST!

And yet the struggle for power at the Federal, State and Local Government Area levels is so intense and so shamelessly, fiercely and corruptly contended before, during and after the 2023 General Elections because there were still MORE BOOTIES TO LOOT???

Everybody is a Lord of the Manor in the Presidential System of government in Nigeria and this has given credence to the high-handedness and governance of IMPUNITY witnessed in 63 years of Independence!

THE THIRD DEFINITION OF DEMOCRACY.

There is third definition which states that democracy "is government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system." 

Let's juxtapose the third definition with Chapter II Section (13) (14) (1) (2) (a) (b) (c) of the 1999 Constitution as amended below:

13. It shall be the duty and responsibility of all organs of government, and of all authorities and persons, exercising legislative, executive or judicial powers, to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of this Chapter of this Constitution. 

14.(1) The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice. 

(2) It is hereby, accordingly, declared that: 

(a) Sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority; 

(b) the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government: and 

(c) the participation by the people in their government shall be ensured in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.

THE DEDUCTION FROM ALL OF THE ABOVE IS THAT UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IS THE WAY TO GO; THAT THE PEOPLE, FROM THE GRASSROOTS MAY ENJOY THE SOVEREIGNTY WHICH WAS JETTISONED THROUGH THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF DAYLIGHT ROBBERY TO BASIC NECESSITIES OF LIFE! 

1) If adventurous soldiers had not bungled PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY that was ushered through PRIME MINISTER TAFAWA BALEWA AT INDEPENDENCE in the form of Regional Federation, Nigeria would have enjoyed peace and stability to date.

2) If in 30 years of military aberration, citizens' psyche WAS NOT militarized to behave as zombies which accepted another form of despotic militarization of Nigeria without resistance in 1999, Nigeria would have taken its rightful place as the true Giant of Africa as the economic destination of both the Black Continent and the entire WORLD!

HOWEVER, HOPE IS NOT LOST! THE CHOICE OF SPEAKER TJ ABBAS IS THE STEPPING STONE FOR TINUBU TO ACTUALIZE THE DIVINE COMMAND TO ESTABLISH PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN SIX MONTHS OF ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE!

The cliché that majority will have their way and minority their say must be subjected to further analysis to establish composition of the majority that existed at each event of contest in view of the type that carried the day at the House of Representatives Election of Principal Officers Tuesday 13th June 2023!

They described themselves as the "GREATER MAJORITY" and won landslide with a figure that could easily qualify for the Guinness Book of Records!

Speaker TJ Abbas garnered 353 votes from among 360 members while other contestants got 3 votes each!

There's no doubt that the FOUNDATION FOR PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN LAID AT THE 10TH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and all that the Executive needed to do through Mr. President was to support the move through introduction of an EXECUTIVE BILL for immediate POPULAR REFERENDUM for the establishment of A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN SIX MONTHS ACCORDING TO DIVINE MANDATE! 

“Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to all people.” 

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]
