What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Political parties have poked holes in the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs' Constitutional Amendment Bill 2024 which seeks for a shift from presidentialism to parliamentarism saying that it takes away the power of determining the presidency from the wider majority to a small college.

By press time Mr Nobert Mao was expected to table the constitutional Amendment Bill 2024 in parliament. In this, it is expected the amendment may touch reforms on electoral matters or rationalization.

Speaking to Monitor on September 24, Forum for Democratic Change Deputy Secretary General, Mr Harrold Kaijja, said that Mr Mao has failed his own examination, because he told the nation that he was joining the government to procure a transition.

“We can only listen to anything but a transition and that is a big trial of the highest level for him to promise to procure a transition and now is talking about an election of president to create a monarchy in this country,” he said.

Mr Kaija said that history will judge Mr Mao very unfairly because he failed to deliver on his promised in a parlaientary system where money influences key decisions and direction taken in passing bills.
