Rauf Aregbesola, the former governor of Osun State, has reaffirmed his support for demands for Nigeria to revert to a parliamentary form of government and abandon the presidential one.
This was said by Aregbesola on Monday at a National Dialogue on the Home-Grown Parliamentary System in Abuja.
The former Interior Minister, who stated that he disapproves of the executive style of government now in use in Nigeria, maintained that the parliamentary system is the most appropriate for a nation such as Nigeria.
Rauf Aregbesola said:
“If you go on believing that an individual, no matter how beautiful, no matter how good, could have the capacity to govern 120 million people all alone without checks, we are joking. So, by that consideration alone, I am opposed to the executive system of government.
“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 added.
