Nigeria’s State Of Hopelessness

 By Ohima Agans-Oliha

When you totter around, you eventually stumble in your objectives or constitutional responsibilities and so you have no one else but yourself to blame.  If the National Assembly had remained rigidly fixed on its assessments of the capabilities of ministerial candidates at the inception of the current regime, obvious competence and capability flaws would have been discovered, hence forcing the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari retd., to amend his ministerial choices. But now, an outmanoeuvred NASS finds itself grovelling and crawling to an empowered executive arm.

*Buhari 

The NASS is essentially now unable to exert its independence and unable to fulfil one of its more important constitutional obligations.  The political dilemma now becomes a matter of spectacular interest for everyone, if in fact, NASS can actually enforce its impeachment threat against the President under the longer standard process, or a quicker and shorter route.
