The beauty of indirect
Democracy paves way for Representations through elected politicians,
emphatically the National Assemble serve as the mouth piece of Indirect Democracy
were issues related to human and social development of the country are
constructively discuss and bills are propose to which laws are made. The
National Assemble encompasses the House of Representatives with 360 members and
the Senate House with 102 members are elected base on senatorial district and
constituencies. Members are elected irrespective of religious inclination or
tribal differences but rather simple majority of vote in an election, the
representative serve as the voice of people at national level.
In a country where we
live 160 million population with different ethnic groups to which Direct Democracy
is never suitable but yearning and aspirations of people are gear through
representations at state and national level, indeed the will of people is
bestowed on representative’s to which they derived their Power and Authority
from the constitution and they are subjected to change when the need is arise
by the people. Why National Dialogue? President Good luck Jonathan calls for
National Dialogue which is expected to resolve Nigerian difference and promote
unity among Nigerians, the national dialogue panel was inaugurated with 13 member’s
conference advisory committee.
One can picture the
National Dialogue to encompasses delegate across the six geo-political zone
including special interest groups such as women labor, youth union, religious
groups and the disabled people since the conference is about nationality.
National Dialogue is an attribute of a good Democracy but in essence the
representatives which were elected by people should be question by the people
on their welfare and development of the country. Everyone in Nigeria knows the
problem of this country even a 7 year’s old child knows that educational system
has collapse, proximity in electricity, water, and road network, level of
insecurity is pervasive, noting good to write home about more over our
representative keeps on asking national questions which has no answer, yet the
president call for national dialogue.
President Good Luck
Jonathan National Dialogue will be a curse and a blessing to Nigerian’s, as a curse dialogue can be
lure through our representatives at State House and National House of Assemble because if the
representative are truly representing us definitely members will travel back to
their respective constituency and discuss about national questions on which the
will table it to the house and provide solutions, secondly it will be an avenue
for greed politician to steal public fund and campaign as 2015 polls is nearby,
thirdly some few Nigerians will benefit in the preparation of national dialogue
through contracts which will amounted billions of naira instead to be used to
boost other sector of the economic.
As a blessing national
dialogue will be meaningful and imperative to rescue the nation especially now
that the nation is with intractable crisis, secondly Nigerian’s to embrace
national dialogue beyond the expectation of President Jonathan and make him
understand if he had announced the national conference to suit his personal
interest, he has committed the greatest mistake as Nigeria will not allow him
to temper with the outcome for partisan political reason , thirdly the unity
will be uphold with strong faith.
Urge the presidential
advisory committee on national dialogue to make prudent look on both the curse
and blessing of national dialogue as well as to make it work as a panacea to
all our social, economic and political problems. Political parties should not
play any role in selection of the delegate; the conference should be free from
sentiment, polarization and not a tool for manipulative political shenanigans.
