They are motivated by personal gain and not because they care for the greater good.
Consequently, the country has been subject to successive regimes of inept political leadership. The political parties in the country are mirror images of one another and the political actors are all cut from the same soiled cloth. In Nigeria, people run for political offices not because they are driven by a passion to serve the nation. Nigerian politicians vie because of the largesse of political office.
In addition to the above, Nigeria’s behemoth political infrastructure must be restructured along the following lines: The Office of the Vice President is a glorified errand boy/girl that does the country no good, dissolve it. The Federal Ministries are a heavy burden Nigeria can’t carry into a prosperous future. Cut them down to a maximum of eight Federal Ministries.
The Local Government Chairman position should be rotated every two years among the four Councilors and the term limits for all political offices must not exceed two terms. Some reading this might be thinking, this can never become law in Nigeria. Close associates of mine have told me that for this to be implemented in Nigeria it’d require a radical military ruler. Their points and skepticisms are all well taken.
The average Nigeria National Assembly member receives an annual salary package of about $600,000 , and a combined total of $280 million per year in salary alone for the entire NASS.
