Aregbesola, also a former governor of Osun State, explained that the presidential system was a death knell for Nigeria, saying the country could not survive the executive presidential representation.
Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior, on Monday stated that Nigeria cannot survive the executive presidential representation, currently led by President Bola Tinubu.
The former Osun State Governor made this known while speaking at the ongoing National Dialogue on the constitutional future of Nigeria in Honour of a renowned constitutional lawyer, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, organised by the Patriots (a pan Nigerian group) with the theme, “Lawful Procedures for Actualising a People’s Constitution for Nigeria.”
Aregbesola, also a former governor of Osun State, explained that the presidential system was a death knell for Nigeria, saying the country could not survive the executive presidential representation.
According to Daily Trust, he advocated for a parliamentary system even as he said productive representation must take the place of residence.
He said; “Can Nigeria survive executive presidential representation? The answer is no.
“In seeking appropriate democratic representation, let's look at production as a basis of representation. We don’t have the best form of representation. People are engaged more in production. Productive acts and those engaged in production should be given opportunity to elect their best.”
