More often than none, the real government is shrouded in secrecy. When people begin to spill the real reasons behind some resignations, protests may become the order of the day. Most world leaders have an oath of secrecy which they are duty bound to follow. There are still individuals who appear bigger than some governments those interests must be protected.

Perhaps. But if secret forces are behind Starmer's reported resignation, were they also behind the last five UK Prime Ministers who left office?

• Liz Truss: resigned after the fallout from her mini-budget triggered market turmoil and a collapse in political support.

• Boris Johnson: resigned following a series of scandals and a mass resignation of ministers from his government.

• Theresa May: stepped down after repeatedly failing to get her Brexit deal through Parliament.

• David Cameron: resigned after losing the Brexit referendum he had called.

• Gordon Brown: left office after losing the 2010 general election.

The common thread isn't necessarily hidden rulers. More often, Prime Ministers fall because they lose elections, lose Parliament, lose their party, or lose public confidence.

Why they always resigning

I know to resign be like sin for Nigeria and people will think u are incompetent
Leaders resign for many reasons
Throughout United Kingdom history, 45 out of the 56 Prime Ministers who have left office have resigned. However, mid-term resignations (stepping down voluntarily or being forced out due to scandal, health, or political pressure, rather than an election loss) have occurred about 13 times.The most recent mid-term resignations include:Rishi Sunak (2024): Resigned as Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader on July 5, 2024, following a general election defeat.Liz Truss (2022): Resigned on October 25, 2022, after just 45 days in office following a turbulent economic fallout, making her the shortest-serving premier in UK history.Boris Johnson (2022): Resigned as Prime Minister on July 7, 2022, following a wave of resignations from his own cabinet and loss of party support.Theresa May (2019): Stepped down on July 24, 2019, after failing to pass her Brexit withdrawal agreement.David Cameron (2016): Resigned on July 13, 2016, following the results of the EU referendum.

I don't get this, not in support of his resignation. They voted in large numbers for him, and not the interloper about to take his job.

There should be constitutional amendment in UK whereby if MPs want to change their leader, then a general election ought to take place!!

You shouldn't be allowed to change the People's mandate at any moment without their consent.

Good point, but then the british people and their parties like it

For one, it may enable a party to change course if the people do not like what the party is doing re governance and by extension stave the party being voted out of power(eg Thatcher resigning in 1990 probably allowed the Conservatives to stay in power for six to seven more years, instead of being voted out in 1991)hopefully. It also keeps goverment on its toes at all time, knowing that they are just a no confidence vote away from losing power.

UK and resignation are like 5&6

His main sin is decision over how to share the osusu. Just like Nigeria, they are a sharing nation but have good businesses around the globe.

I will like to see if Kemi Badanoach will be given the post as compensation for her continuous critism of Nigeria, the other prime minister that has an India heritage never for once drag India for they short coming but kemi always use every opportunity to drag Nigeria to the mud.

Because she be ozuor.

Kemi Badenoch Jas successfully frustrated this man out of office. I hope she will be able to deliver if made the next UK Prime Minister.

That is a model country where the power of an office has been so whittled down and become almost unattractive.

What Nigerian useless politicians cannot do.

So called British democracy is a veil. It is an act, mere make believe. Certain ancient ordained powers are still very much in control of that country and they live in palaces.

Starmer’s departure will set the UK on course for a seventh prime minister in 10 years, just two years after he led Labour to a sweeping general election victory, winning a majority of 174 seats.

His premiership has been battered by controversies and U-turns, including over winter fuel payments to older people and the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to Washington.

Meanwhile in this giant of Africa, we are allowing the most incompetent, corrupt and clueless president to sit tight and make INEC win elections for his party.

Why are we so inferior to other countries and races, even though God made us all in His image despite our physical differences, according to the Abrahamic creation stories

Is it any wonder that we are exporting our miserably meagre resources and even ourselves to the former colonial masters, to make them even richer and better than Nigeria?

PANDORA PAPERS: Buhari visited Tinubu in corruption-tainted London villa acquired by Oyetola

Governor Oyetola, a relative of Mr Tinubu, may have sabotaged his own country by buying the exotic property as Nigeria made to seize it.

ByNicholas IbekweandTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 7, 2021 in Headline Stories, Pandora Papers Reading Time: 8 mins read

It was a meeting of two of Nigeria’s most influential politicians in London – President Muhammadu Buhari was visiting political kingmaker and senior member of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

In July, the presidency announced that Mr Buhari was heading to London for an education summit. The office also added that the president would also see his doctors for “medical check-up”.

Coincidentally, Mr Tinubu, who had travelled to London earlier, was also receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the British capital. So, a perfect setting for both men to meet was created.

As far as this PM's case is concerned, it's none of what you postulated.

In that same period, we have endured Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC’s destruction of our economy and country as we look on with renewed hopelessness.

Why do you think we are like that?

Is it just tribalistic zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption? Or is there something else to it?

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

What kinda system of government is this with no fixed number of years for the tenure of the head of government?

Prime minister coming and going at any time. Some 2 months, others weeks, just a few stay for years like Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, John Major and a few others.

Do you mean 'fixed' like what y'all have in Africa, performing or not, it's a fixed tenure...lol

I think it has to do with wokeism. Then the monarchy is still somehow in charge. Also ambitious and unbridled aggression from opposition like them Kem Kem contributes to the mess. Normally, British system of Government is hard to decipher. What do you call it? Is it a democracy? Is it a dictatorship? Only God knows.

GOD FORBID…Anyone but her,if she was just Agbadorians nemesis then it would have been fine,but the yeye woman is against EVERY Nigerian..some people who want to leave the shithole because of what the ruling party and government has turned the nation to are getting blocked by her meanwhile that was how her family also migrated to UK but she wants to stop others..Everyone loved her until she started showing her true colors and talking about implementing laws that will affect both innocent and evil guilty Nigerians..Nooo GOD FORBID her

It's still a Labour Mandate. Kemi is a conservative.

He fund Ukraine war against Russia when British citizens wallow in high cost of groceries and inflation.
Keeps dashing that comic expired tenure president of Ukraine billions of tax payers pounds.

You obviously have no clue about this matter and should have simply read carefully to understand what is going on and what has been going on for decades and centuries in Britain.

How has wokeism got anything to do with sacking a leader who failed to do what he promised? Do you retain the services of contractors and workers who fail to do their jobs, who fail to deliver the outcomes they promised?

How can Britain be a dictatorship when the people, through their lawmakers easily sack nonperforming leaders instead of standing on his mandate to rubber stamp loans and other requests from the president?

Starmer was the leader of a Party in Majority (i e Labor Party) after the general election. That's why he's Prime Minister. He was not the choice of the people but of his party and that's allowed by UK law.

Please what war is Tinubu funding for Nigerians to wallow in hyperinflation of food, rent, transportation, education etc and especially petrol that he promised to crash the price

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

They didn't vote for him as PM, they only voted him as MP and other MPs voted him as their PM. The MPs that voted him are the ones removing him. He didn't win in large numbers, his party won large numbers of MPs.

Can any Nigerian president do this?

In Nigeria, politics is for stealing while in the West, they're known to serve. This is why your politicians would rather die there even if they're a total failure.

Yorimichi:
UK is officially ungovernable...
6 prime ministers in 8 years is pretty much a circus

It’s absolute rubbish I tell you!

I don't know why you decided to pick one part and leave the rest. I asked a question, is it a dictatorship? Is it a democracy? Reading through the thread, some people questioned why the PMs are resigning every 'eke' market day? (Whatever that means) which makes sense because for a country to make progress, there must be stability in leadership.
