Since 1999 when the journey to civil rule began,having witnessed military rule for over 15 years,there have been arguments and counter-arguments as to the best form of Democratic government in Nigeria.
While some of argued that the American styled presidential system of government which Nigeria practiced between 1979 and 1983,and which is currently in practice,remains the best for Nigeria,others want a return to the parliamentary system which the British bequeathed to Nigeria at independence in 1960.
Those who are pushing a return to what Nigeria’s colonial masters,Britain,handed down to the country in 1960,which is parliamentarianism,have argued that such a system would eliminate wastages in governance and ensure accountability.
