Dantata Endorses Transition To Parliamentary System Of Government
Elder statesman Aminu Dantata has expressed support for transitioning from a presidential to a parliamentary system of government.
Naija News 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.
Recall Naija News reports some members of the House of Representatives have made a push for constitutional reforms in order to restore the parliamentary system of government in Nigeria.
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.
The Rep members, led by Lagos lawmaker, Wale Raji, are seeking a constitutional transition from the current presidential system to the parliamentary system of government.
The proposed legislation, titled “The Bills proposing constitutional alterations for a transition to a parliamentary system of government,” received its first reading during Wednesday’s plenary session in Abuja.
Meanwhile, the momentum behind this transformative shift extended far beyond the confines of the National Assembly.
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.
Dantata’s endorsement of the parliamentary system, lauding its cost-effectiveness in contrast to the presidential model, injected significant impetus into the initiative.
This advocacy initiative formed part of a broader campaign aimed at igniting a national dialogue on the imperative for a more streamlined governance structure.
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.

Nigeria Will Soon Overcome Challenges – Ganduje Assures Nigerians
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has expressed optimism that Nigeria will soon overcome its challenges, citing recent developments.
Naija News reports that Ganduje attended the Concerned North Central APC Stakeholders and Elders Forum in Abuja, where he made the statement.
Ganduje stressed the significance of unity within the party amidst opposition and urged to focus on the party’s goals by ignoring divisive forces.
He expressed optimism in overcoming challenges, including criticisms against the President; through collective efforts, he simultaneously thanked the President for his renewed Hope Agenda and pledged unwavering support.
Ganduje said, “There is no doubt that there is an opposition, but we believe with your cooperation, we will not continue to listen to undesirable elements who are not focused.
“Who are not real party men, who want to see us that we are in disarray? We have no place for that; we are people, politicians who are committed.
“We know we are forging ahead, these assaults on Mr President, these assaults on Nigerians, we believe we will soon be out of these problems.
“We have to thank the president for his renewed Hope Agenda; efforts, commitment and we assure him that we are 100 per cent for him.”
Former Senate President Sen. Ameh Ebute, who led a delegation, thanked Ganduje for his leadership during a visit.
He highlighted the purpose of the visit as twofold: to acknowledge Ganduje’s leadership style and to urge him to further support the APC as its national chairman.
Sen. Ebute emphasized the delegation’s diverse representation, comprising grassroots and prominent leaders from communities and associations staunchly aligned with the APC across various states, including Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Niger, Nasarawa, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Kwara.
