Former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has advocated the adoption of the parliamentary system of government in Nigeria, cautioning against the viability of the current executive presidential system.
Speaking at the National Constitutional Dialogue held in honor of the late constitutional scholar Prof. Ben Nwabueze, Aregbesola emphasized the need for change on Monday, March 18.
Highlighting the unity forged by production among Nigerians, the former Osun State governor advocates for a governmental structure that aligns more closely with the nation’s strengths and aspirations.
Aregbesola said in part: “We are united more through production.
“So in seeking appropriate democratic representation, let us look at production as a basis of representation. That’s my first submission.
“Can Nigeria survive the executive presidential system?
“My answer is Capital NO! Let us agree on Parliamentary System.”
