According to TheCable, the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said “You are preaching to the converted, but as I have said, take the word parliamentary away. We need to get the critical masses. Parliamentary and all that — once you start that, you have gotten it wrong. Once you do that, you are putting yourself in a fix because some would say: We don’t want parliamentary.

A product of their culture. A product of their way of life.”

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo revealed that the African countries used to rule themselves before the coming of colonialism, and they had empires and striving kingdoms. He also advised the members that for lack of an appropriate word, they should rather call it Afro-democracy than a parliamentary system of government. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
