Because Buhari have shown them that a Nigerian president is the most powerful person in the world. You can do anything influence nonsense and have people defend you for free or little pay as low as 30k

Not in all states and not by all Nigerians.

Many Nigerians and states only talk about presidents when there is need to.

Op, don't mistake the activities of clowns from some 5 villages who always scream Buhari even after trading their destinies for some litres of kerosene.

Bro, this is irrespective of Nigeria states not to talk of region.

Have you seen any protest against any of the governors? Those state governors that have been crying foul about insecurities, it simply shows they are incapable just like the FG to tackle the insecurities.

When Kalu was interviewed about how he is going to solve the insecurities in the country, he said the state governors that have been allowing criminals to be operating in their respective states want it that way. If they don't want them , they would pursue them far far without even waiting for the presidency.

This is a matter that affects all.

Stephench:
Because the presidency holds too much power. Decentralize power and see people stop focusing on the presidency. You can't eat your cake and have it back.

stanluiz:
Because Nigeria pratice Unitary system of government where the president is too powerful.

Until you restructure Nigeria and put true federalism, people will continue to hold the blame the president.

helinues:


What then is the duty of other arms of power, Lawmakers and Judicial?

helinues:


As the power is yet to be decentralized, why can't we then focus more about our grassroots politicians who would eventually represent us at the federal level.

If our constituency representatives are credible people, then the president won't have such power just as how British lawmakers almost have power than the PM hence replacing them like a tissue paper .

Same goes to state Assemblies, those ones are under the cage of their respective state governors, they only nod head to whatever rubbish bill they bring.

The charity shuld start from backyard

Though the position of the president can't be underrated cos he over sights all the territory in the country but still I think we are focusing too much on the presidency.

How about the state governors, house of reps members, Senate seats, state assembly, LG is paralyzed already.

If our lawmakers both state and federal have been really doing their work, things should have gotten more better than this.

A good house of reps would have denied most of the unnecessary loans the FG have been taken.

A good house of reps would have focused on bills that would affect the masses positively in general instead of focusing on bills that would only help their pockets.

A good house of reps have the capacity to impeach the president as long as there is quorum for the exercise.

Same applied to state assemblies. Even if the governor or president is a dumbo, a sound house should be able to reject the dead bills from them, but it's unfortunate that the current set of our house of reps members are puppets to state governors or president.

In addition, Dino made us to realised that there is a recall process in our constitution for underperforming representatives. Let's set a bait for them in 2023, if you don't perform you would be recalled.

Who ever becomes president might not ply through your community not to talk of street. How would you expect the presidency to know your needs like bad roads, poor electricity, insecurities.

Our reps should be the piece mouth for the masses. The state assemblies members are the closest to us, what exactly have they been doing?

So it took Ondo state assembly forever to ban open grazing in their state, if such law has been in existence in state laws, how much more of laws they have not been making use that could have solved some of the problems facing their state?

State representatives should be our priority in the next election while the presidency should be secondary, after all who presidency epp? Daura is currently in turmoil, Bayelsa just celebrated first car coming to their community for the first time just this week while OBJ couldn't fix Sango-Ota road

naijaboy756:
When Ojota people protested in 2012, was it against local government chairmen, or against arise tv or against senators?

No be Jonathan the President?

Better go &’start the job soonest, to take care of your physco problem.

Bro, no dey look bar, even rear mirrow to look back, na front or dey.

We need the way forward. President is not something you can win without having solid senators anD house of reps members in place.

Also, it's not something that can be done in one election circle, not even 2 self
