US Celebrates When The President Has Control Of Congress And Senate - Oshiomole by Giftimoni(op): 7:11am On May 14, 2025

Oshiomhole added that having an aligned legislature is not unusual in democratic societies, citing the United States as an example.

“The US celebrates when a president has control of both the Congress and the Senate. Every government wants that because democracy, in a sense, is not only a means to an end — it is an end in itself.

“The right to contribute and the freedom to express yourself are part of what defines democracy, not just the number of parties represented,” he argued.

A good leader, president should be able to work with all the arms of government which president Tinubu has done wonderfully well in that aspect.

Re: US Celebrates When The President Has Control Of Congress And Senate - Oshiomole by RenaissanceGuy: 8:41am On May 14, 2025
But are you also aware that that control of both chambers of the Congress is not achieved by defection or bribing lawmakers to defect from their party to the president's party??

Nobody sings on your mandate we shall stand to bush, obama, trump or is it Biden


the independent of 3 arms of govt is to compel check & balances, not to be singing on your mandate we shall stand like its an anthem.

He should stop lying. Who or what is he referrig to as 'the US'.

The Republicans control all government presently but are the Democrats 'rejoicing'. Hasn't he seen the protests and the backlash in parts of Anerica at the present government's policies and the loss of some States to the Democrats in the just concluded sub national elections.

And doesn't Oshiomole realize why the Republicans have swept government, on account of the dismal performance of the Biden era Democratic party which refused to listen to complaints about the economy and immigration?

Please he should not in any way compare US politics to the primitive, feudal equivalent practiced here where people gravitate to failed, underperforming governments out of hopelessness, desperation and a meal to feed.

There they hold their governments to account and do not hesitate to pull the electoral trigger once they are dissatisfied no matter who is in office. And that is why their present leadership is battling hard to do their bidding in bringing jobs, investment and productivity back home not giving excuses and insulting the sensibilities of the people.

If this country survives these set of leaders history will look back with absolute reprehension at what they had done to traumatize the people of Nigeria.

Does the US president controls the courts and other tiers of government as being shamelessly done in Nigeria. Always comparing this nation with US for stupid reasons.

If President Tinubu will forever silence his critics he should make Nigeria great, thereby he will not need people to defend him.His marvelous work will.

When he has control of the legislature.

Controlling the people who are supposed to act as checks and balances.

They won't. They simply don't care
Re: US Celebrates When The President Has Control Of Congress And Senate - Oshiomole by themanderon: 12:37pm On May 14, 2025
It's only when they want to be clever by half they compare Nigeria to the more developed US. When it comes to other positive indices they look the other way and claim Nigeria is not at par with the US. Crazy crooks.
