When we have a parliamentary system, we can move a motion of no confidence within two or three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are in a parliamentary system, a president will be a member of parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, if you elect me as president of Nigeria or governor, I can remove myself entirely from being answerable to the people, just hire a gang of lunatics, talking rubbish every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile, if it is a parliamentary system, during the president\u2019s question time, he has to answer. He doesn\u2019t have to hire anybody to speak for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA president in Nigeria can decide not to talk to anybody for one year and nobody cares because he has hired all these people who do the talking. If you say anything, they call you names, they do this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we need a parliamentary system where the president will be a member of parliament and will at least, even if it is once a month, answer the people who elected him; because we didn\u2019t elect all these gangsters.
