MY OPINION POLL OF THE NEW WEEK:



In the wake of ongoing constitutional review, one item that has been subjected to intense debate is the issue of whether to adopt a single term for political office holders or to continue with the two-term possible tenure...in order to set the ambience for the best choice, I present this question bellow for answer:

* The popular Nigerian trend of underperforming
second Tenure....Can you show me one Nigerian
leader whose second tenure was/is better than the
first tenure?

Our problems are fundamental,it doesnt have to do with the number of tenure but the individual himself.

If we adopt a single term,it will only mean political office holders will loot everything they can in their first term

If we adopt double term,they may likely do a little beyond what they would have done had it been a single term in their first term in office.So the smartest thing will be not to re elect them,but frankly as soon as they know that's the populace strategy,then they will decide to loot everything possible in their first term since they will likely not be re elected.

So the fundamental issue is to hold them accountable for their tenure be it sinlge or double.
The starting point will be to saniticpze our judiciary,efcc,Icpc and the likes

8ut as it stands only a revolution will solve our problem(restore sanity to our judiciary and other arms of goverment)

If every leader is subjected to only one tenure,
immunity clause removed and the clause of recall of
underperforming parliamentarians strengthened, we
will have a better governanance than this dystopic
two-term set up!

Again, longer terms breeds pathology of power and according to parkinson's law of expansivity, same work could expand or contract in reaction of the time availed to it...thus second tenure will only lead to expansion or spread of same work that could be done under one tenure...therefore leading to geometric retrogression and time cum resources wastage...so bro, A single term should be more preferable to me, given the above apologia!
