Former Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande has aired his opinion on the restructuring debate ongoing in the country.
The Former governor said the current government system in Nigeria is cost and will not be workable for poor people like Nigeria with large illiteracy rate.
Akande made the remark while addressing a news conference in his country home, Ila, Osun state as part of activities to mark his 79th birthday.
He said that multi-party parliamentary democracy was the best form of government for Nigeria if it wanted to catch up with the rest of the civilised world.
According to him, the Nigerian nation is currently running a difficult government under an unworkable setup.
“President Buhari is my friend and I want him to succeed but he is running a difficult system of government.
“Nigeria’s democracy is a military democracy of sharing and if we continue like this, there is no way we can succeed.
“Up to this present age, evidence-based analysis has proven parliamentary democracy to be the most accountable transparent form of government in the whole world,’’ he said.
He said that parliamentary democracy had helped countries like the United Kingdom become rich, stable and respectable globally and also made the very young Israel very strong economically and militarily.
“It is also transforming India from acute poverty and hunger into self-sufficiency and reliability virtually in all fields.
“Apart from being transparent and accountable, parliamentary democracy is absolutely inclusive.
“It appears to be the best form of governmental structure for Nigeria now,” he said.
Akande, a former governor of Osun State maintained that anything less accountable and transparent would not help the development of the country.
