Aptly said, Prof! The major part of our malaise as has been debated on this platform by many people is the omnipotent power the 1992 constitution grants our imperial presidency and its cohorts. --------------------------------- “The President would take precedence over all and be subject only to the Constitution, which he has constitutional mandate to execute and maintain (Article 45.1 and 2)...To ensure that the President is in effective control over all potential centres of dissent and division, the Constitution vests in the President power to appoint a number of public office holders, ranging from members of his cabinet to [Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives] MMDEs and also determine their salaries and retirement benefits. The President does not just exercise omnipotent political power,” Prof Ninsin observed. “He controls equally massive economic resources of the country.”
