Anything Goes: Why We Must Demand Quality Representation in Nigeria’s Legislature
Nigeria’s legislature has increasingly become a stage where anything goes. From senators engaging in ego battles to representatives who appear to have no grasp of governance, the quality of leadership in the country is declining rapidly. The House of Representatives, in particular, is now filled with individuals who neither inspire confidence nor display the intelligence required for the job.
Take, for example, Hon. Abass Adigun, representing Ibadan South-East/North-East. His recent public appearances have not only embarrassed his constituents but also made a mockery of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the platform that brought him to power. The man is clearly unprepared for legislative duties, yet he occupies a seat meant for a serious-minded representative. Instead of pushing for policies that will improve the lives of his people, he has become a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons, a recurring subject of ridicule on social media.
But let’s ask ourselves; who is to blame? Is it just the lawmaker, or is it the people who voted him in? The truth is, many Nigerians continue to make poor electoral choices, prioritizing monetary handouts and personal favors over competence and integrity. The result? We end up with individuals who have no business making laws, let alone debating national issues on behalf of millions.
The Assembly has its own problems, and at this point, we’re not even sure what the outcome will be, an unending roforofo over leadership. The Speakership is now looking like autocratic. Though due process was followed in his impeachment, the Speaker who seems favoured by powers higher than the power of the majority who impeached him, is bent on returning through any means. Will Lagos self combust? That's the question on everyone's lip as it seems, 'the more you look, the less you see.

Bola Tinubu Remains Best Consensus Candidate for APC- Team Nigeria
The aspiration of the national leader of the All progressives Congress (APC) has received further boost ,with the submission that he is the most suitable for consensus arrangements in the party.
The submission was made on Friday in Lagos by Team Nigeria For Change in a press release signed by its national president, Chief Bestman Nze Jumbo, describing the former Governor of Lagos state as “credible, reliable, dependable and a unifier who will be acceptable in all the six geo- political zones of the country”.
He further posited that with the adoption mode adopted at the national convention of the APC, if such should be replicated for the presidential primary,it should be done with the mindset of producing a credible and acceptable candidate that will be popular across the country.
According to him” it’s crystal that the 2023 elections are approaching, it’s for us as a group committed to good governance, that we will continue to talk about the Aspirants parading the political landscape. While we appreciate the jostling for the presidency by so many politicians, however,we want to say we must make our position known at this point in time.”
” With the recent conclusion of the national convention of the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) and the timetable by INEC on the conduct of primary elections by parties,we will want the party, APC ,to look critically into the Aspirants running under it’s banners and scrutinize properly,look at their antecedent, acceptability across the zones,the pedigree and above all,their commitment to good governance.
From our intense and widespread consultations,we have found out that only Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a towering influence and acceptable conduct across the country, so we will admonish the party to consider him ,for his efforts in the birthing of this democracy…”
