Former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has advocated the adoption of the parliamentary system of government in Nigeria.

Aregbesola warned that Nigeria cannot survive the current executive presidential system of government.

He stated this during the National Constitutional Dialogue organised in honour of the late renowned constitutional lawyer, Prof Ben Nwabueze, on Monday, March 18.

The former Osun State governor added that Nigerians are united more by production.

Aregbesola said in part: “We are united more through production.

“So in seeking appropriate democratic representation, let us look at production as a basis of representation. That’s my first submission.

“Can Nigeria survive the executive presidential system?

“My answer is Capital NO! Let us agree on Parliamentary System.”
