THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE CHECK AND BALANCES CANNOT OCCUR WHEN THE SAME PARTY OCCUPY THE LEADERSHIP OF BOTH ARM OF GOVT. Nigeria cannot move forward when members of the same party controls the executive and the legislative. The purpose of seperation of powers between the executive and the legislative arm of govt is for check and balance, but i don't think we need any magician to tell us that members of the same parties in Nigeria cannot check and balance anything for the purpose of good governance, they can only check each others personal interest. We should review the constitution to properly check and balance the leaders. When the president and the vice president emerge from a political party, the constitution should empower the leading opposition party to take the leadership of the senate and the house of representative. That is the only way to guarantee real check and balance.
