<h2>Elder statesman Aminu Dantata has expressed support for transitioning from a presidential to a parliamentary system of government.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that Dantata highlighted the superiority of the parliamentary system over the presidential system due to its cost-effectiveness during a consultation visit by House of Representatives members leading the transition at his Kano residence on Thursday.</p>
<p>Recall <strong>Naija News</strong> reports some members of the <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/14/house-of-rep-members-push-for-nigerias-return-to-parliamentary-system-of-government/">House of Representatives have made a push for constitutional reforms in order to restore the parliamentary system of government in Nigeria.</a></p>
<p>The lawmakers, not less than sixty in number, are proposing a bill to alter the 1999 constitution to return the country to parliamentary democracy as practised in the first republic.</p>
<p>The Rep members, led by Lagos lawmaker, <strong>Wale Raji</strong>, are seeking a constitutional transition from the current presidential system to the parliamentary system of government.</p>
<p>The proposed legislation, titled "<em>The Bills proposing constitutional alterations for a transition to a parliamentary system of government,</em>" received its first reading during Wednesday's plenary session in Abuja.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the momentum behind this transformative shift extended far beyond the confines of the National Assembly.</p>
<p>During a recent outreach mission to Kano, a delegation of House members, including Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda, engaged in discussions with Aminu Dantata, a prominent figure in Nigerian business circles.</p>
<p>Dantata's endorsement of the parliamentary system, lauding its cost-effectiveness in contrast to the presidential model, injected significant impetus into the initiative.</p>
<p>This advocacy initiative formed part of a broader campaign aimed at igniting a national dialogue on the imperative for a more streamlined governance structure.</p>
<p>The legislators' journey transcended mere constitutional adjustments; it represented a concerted effort to redefine Nigeria's trajectory, promoting fiscal efficiency and ultimately aligning governance more closely with the will of the people.</p>
