This iswhy a democratic government is hard... There are people u must please to move forward

Just like in a factory... Production manager has to have understanding with the quality control manager or nothing will leave the production floor

He's even lucky APC has majority of senators if not... Hisasss would v neen on the street since
My brother, the democratic system we practice (The American system) was specifically designed to ensue the President is not all powerful. See how little Obama was able to do in 8 years due to obstruction from the Republicans in the House and Senate. It is a system that requires give and take. OBJ, Yardua(Of blessed Memory) and GEJ understood this.

I know Buhari wants to do the right thing for the Nation, but he has to work within the confines of the system, and that means there has to be some 'give' to the National assembly. It's not nice, but that's the reality, there is no way the NASS will pass a budget that does not 'favor' them in some ways.

My own personal opinion is that we are not yet ready for this type of democracy, we lack the patriotic maturity for it. Having lived through both Military and Civilian govt s, I am sorry but I'll take the Military any day of the week.

Statements the presidency made were not diplomatic to say at least.

There's a way of handing issues without making damning public statements

okay we are watching.Same way you people said Saraki would not be elected senate president because your jagagbantis was all mighty and powerful
Did Saraki get 2/3 to be elected? He got majority but nowhere close to 2/3 neither did Dogara. Then keep in mind that some Southern senators that supported Saraki's election too are demanding that Lagos-Calabar should be added.
