Akande said this in an interview on Channel Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.
He said, “It is possible in this county to have people in political offices not full-time. A parliamentary system might bring more representation; might be cheaper and might improve on the issue of accountability.”
Meanwhile, Akande had urged President Bola Tinubu to openly acknowledge the imperative need for fixing the country’s electoral process.
Akande noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had assured Nigerians that the results of the 2023 election would be available on the IREV.
He noted that INEC had explained things to the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) justices that “Look, we are not compelled by the law to transmit the results” because it was only a promise and not a law.
He noted the need for INEC to rebuild trust while urging the President to publicly condemn the electoral umpire’s inadequate performance.
“The President himself, at the end of the day, ought to also come out, just like President Yar’Adua did, to say, “Look, I understand that we have to fix the electoral process, and I think a lot of what we should do at the end of the day is to come back and look at the reforms.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that Bola Tinubu had approved the appointment of 20 federal commissioners to serve in the National Population Commission, with nine current federal commissioners being appointed for a second term in office.
