OBASANJO TALKS TOO MUCH, HE SHOULDN’T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY – PROF. SAGAY

The most recent episode, culminating in a joint resolution of the National Assembly, with demands from the Presidency might end up as only one more for the books. Unless…the majority of Nigerians ask: What is the struggle in aid of? Does it strengthen our democracy and will we collectively be better off for it?


The Nigerian presidential model was adopted from the United States of America and their system is designed to be contentious because each arm serves as a check on the others. The checks and balances are meant to ensure that no one arm of government becomes so powerful that they can abuse their powers and destroy the ‘republic’.
