Don't get me wrong. I love the President's governance but we all know that PDP are doing all it takes to remove the President and they have the nation economic crisis to their advantage. This is why the President needs to hold a form of monthly presidential press conference where we the citizens can have a form of dialogue with the president through the press.

In a representative government, citizens expect to see their leaders respond to questions from others. Reporters act as surrogates for the public. President Coolidge discussed with reporters why he held press conferences:

"I regard it as rather necessary to the carrying on of our republican institution that the people should have a fairly accurate report of what the president is trying to do, and it is for that purpose, of course, that those intimate conferences are held." [September 14 1926]

Press conferences give the public the best opportunity to see what presidents know (and don't know), what makes them angry, what makes them laugh, and what their brand of leadership is. Those are all points people want to see, not just read about. Beginning with President Kennedy's daytime and early evening press conferences fifty years ago January 25, people could tune in approximately twice a month and watch live press conferences. By 1960, 87% of the public had television sets so Kennedy came into most living rooms and offices around the country. These sessions were uncut and live—as opposed to the ones Eisenhower had that were kept for later broadcast where clips were used. With Kennedy, the public got to see him as he spoke.

INFORMATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

Who will sit on the presidential conference, is it not still the same set of people they have been discussing with.

Did you follow the last townhall meeting Jamboree? Imagine hosting a townhall meeting in an exclusive 5 star hotel and strictly inviting only government officials with some paid agents.

We have a mockery of democracy

I am not talking about Presidential conference, I meant a form of press conference designed solely for the President and the people who are represented by various Local TV crews. And if government officials decides to be present then it will be like an icing on the cake for we the citizens. We need to know how the President is handling most of the country's economic issues.
