 Parliamentary System Best For A Nation Like Nigeria – Aregbesola


A former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has emphatically backed calls for Nigeria to ditch the presidential system of government and return to the parliamentary system.

“I believe the collective arrangement which the parliamentary system guarantees is best for a nation like Nigeria if indeed we are committed to advancing the interest of the large population and mass of our people,” Aregbesola said.
