NIGERIANS DEMAND UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM THROUGH REFERENDUM NOW!

(NEW YEAR 2024 EDITION)

Citizens expectations from government in any new year are usually focused in the direction of fulfilment of promises made by political leaders to improve on adequate provisions of socio-economic dividends in very secured environment.

But the 24-year-old Presidential System of Government in Nigeria had never met those lofty expectations! 

From Obasanjo to Tinubu, who has now found himself in a dire strait due to inordinate ambition which has resulted in several failed policy decisions in seven months of administration, new years in Nigeria were always calamitous!

New years were always greeted with gruesome murders and mass killings of defenseless citizens across the nation and no one or groups of people had ever been held responsible nor successfully prosecuted and so the carnage continues unabated!

Patriotic citizens do not need lectures in political science to determine that a presidential system of government was most unsuitable for any developing country in any part of the world.

But the Nigerian military adventurists foisted it on selfish and greedy politicians who capitalized on the accursed 1999 Constitution to further plunder the leftover of the common patrimony by the khaki boys who forcibly ruled the country for almost 30 years!

Without adequate security, socio-economic activities would never thrive and security architecture would remain an illusion for as long as school age children in their millions are roaming the streets begging for alms and able-bodied employable young men and women are idle and jobless!

THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA HAS WOEFULLY FAILED!

Current political leaders need neither Soothsayers nor Prophet’s to announce the truth that Nigeria is failed State by all standards!

The latest Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Report according to the PUNCH should be sufficient to confirm the urgency to opt for a Change from PRESIDENTIAL TO UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM of government!

“The National Bureau of Statistics disclosed on Wednesday that Nigeria’s headline inflation rate surged to 27.33 per cent in October.

This is a 0.61 percentage point from the 26.72 per cent that was recorded in September.

In its Consumer Price Index (October 2023) that was released on Wednesday, the NBS stated, “In October 2023, the headline inflation rate increased to 27.33 per cent relative to the September 2023 headline inflation rate which was 26.72 per cent.

“Looking at the movement, the October 2023 headline inflation rate showed an increase of 0.61 percentage points when compared to the September 2023 headline inflation rate.”

 Major contributors to the increase in inflation were food and non-alcoholic beverages, housing, water, electricity gas and other fuel, clothing and footwear, transport, and furnishings and household equipment and maintenance.

In its recent forecast for the year, KPMG predicted that Nigeria’s headline inflation may rise to 30 per cent by December 2023 because of fuel subsidy removal, and the unification of the foreign exchange market.

The Headline inflation is the total inflation in an economy which includes commodities like food and energy.

In this piece, PUNCH Online highlights the nation’s headline inflation rates (expressed in percentage) from January to October 2023, on a month-on-month and year-on-year points basis.

Political office holders in the Three Tiers Have all admitted that the system has taken Nigeria back into the dark ages and those of them who were patriotic to speak out during the 8th and 9th National Assemblies collected signatures of members to move a Bill for REFERENDUM for a switch but it was frustrated by FIFTH COLUMNISTS!

PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS TOO COSTLY!

In the build up to the last Presidential elections in Nigeria the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) raised the cost of nomination form to NGN 100 million naira per candidate and all the money bags paid the amount, though citizens in all their various Constituencies wallow in POVERTY!

Below is a brief summary of the presidency according to BRITANICA across the world:

“President, in government, the officer who serves as head of state and sometimes also as chief executive. In countries where the president is chief of state but not of government, the role is largely ceremonial, with few or no political powers. Presidents may be elected directly or indirectly, for a limited or unlimited number of terms. 

In the U.S., the president’s chief duty is to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, which he does through various executive agencies and with the aid of his cabinet. He also serves as commander in chief of the armed forces, nominates judges to the Supreme Court, and makes treaties with foreign governments (contingent on Senate approval). 

The office of president is used in governments in South and Central America, Africa, and elsewhere. In Western Europe executive power is generally vested in a prime minister and his cabinet, and the president, where the office exists, has few responsibilities (though France is a significant exception).”

Nigeria copied the presidential system from the United States where CORRUPTION is anathema but has deviated from the norms from inception to date!

Tinubu’s Advisers should urge him to begin to READ THE SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE THE STORM IS ALREADY BREWING FOR THE DEMAND FOR UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH POPULAR REFERENDUM!

EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!
