From Benin to Akure, and Abeokuta, state lead representatives are showing their accustomed overbearingness. Phillip Shaibu, Deputy Governor of Edo State, was kept out of his office on Monday as State Lead Representative Godwin Obaseki fired up his conflict against him; the Ondo State House of Assembly on Wednesday initiated impeachment processes against the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, following doubt between him and Lead Representative Rotimi Akeredolu. Ijebu North-East Local Government legislators impeached its Chairman, Wale Adedayo, who had blamed Ogun State Lead Representative, Dapo Abiodun, of denying LGs their legal assets.

This is a stunningly dull example in Nigeria's Fourth Republic. State Lead Representatives are famously narrow minded of restricting perspectives and request military-style unquestioning compliance.

From their deputies, mockingly called "spare tires" regarding their weakness under the 1999 Constitution, State Lead Representatives request docile submissiveness. Ambition is seen as insubordination to be squashed with every one of the instruments of state power employed inside and outside the law.

This you must do as I say culture applies to the state legislatures and the LGs. For most Lead Representatives, they hold office exclusively at the delight of their majestic gubernatorial personage. They are not allowed to have alternate points of view or confront them.
Their casualties are much of the time no holy people either, being results of the besmirched framework, yet dignity ought to prevail in the public space in any event, when conflicts emerge.

Wherever else, a majority rules government blossoms with debates, free interaction of disparate perspectives and rivalry for elective offices. Besides, the principle of the separation and autonomy of powers - executive, legislative, and judicial - is a burden for Nigeria's Lead Representatives. Control of the state legislatures and LGs is for them, a question of endurance.

Aiyedatiwa's quandary is put down to desire. However, blamed by state lawmakers for "ridiculous unfortunate behavior," his actual offence, according to allies, is his thought to succeed Akeredolu who went on a medical leave between June 13 and September 9, this year.
Shaibu's struggles are likewise established, as openly affirmed by Obaseki, in his alleged "urgency to succeed me." He has been sequentially exposed to embarrassments and indignities.

For thinking for even a second to file a petition claiming Abiodun's portion of assets gathering to the state's 20 LGs, Adedayo has been kept by the secret police, and repudiated by other state LG bosses and his own councilors.

Incumbent president, Bola Tinubu, while he was Governor of Lagos 1999-2007, two deputy governors in succession were ousted. At the point when the late President Umaru Yar'Adua, held influence as Katsina State Lead Representative 1999-2007, two successive deputies under him likewise were ousted. In February 2020, a court subdued the October 2019 impeachment of Simon Achuba as the Deputy Governor of Kogi by state lawmakers acting on the side of Lead Representative Yahaya Bello.

In Zamfara, Mahdi Gusau was evicted as deputy governor in the wake of declining to follow then Lead Representative Bello Matawalle to defect from their party to another party.

In 2018, the Imo State Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere, was reprimanded by the Imo State House of Assembly following a conflict with then Lead Representative Rochas Okorocha over his desire to succeed him, when the Lead Representative was pulling for his son-in-law. Like in Ondo State, where Akeredolu's most memorable deputy, Agboola Ajayi, was ousted, Okorocha's first deputy, Jude Agbaso, had encountered similar outcome.

A majority rule government is ridiculous in Nigeria. Rather than vibrant lawmaking and oversight, the state legislatures are 'rubber stamps.' The rare sorts of people who display some 'spunk' are obediently taken out by their associates to satisfy the Lead Representatives. State Lead Representatives break up chosen LGs in rebellion of a High Court ruling and the constitution. They demand handpicking their replacements along these lines inciting strain and harsh divisions.

Nigeria frantically needs lawmakers and politicians that grasp the basic role of different perspectives and free parliaments in building a really utilitarian majority rules government.

Political races should be tidied up to work with individuals' preferred choice rather than the handpicked selections of Lead Representatives and 'adoptive parents' (godfathers). Inward majority rules system, presently to a great extent missing, ought to be embedded in the political parties.

Admirers of liberal majority rules government ought to pursue making a policy that grants both contradicting views and the free exercise of legitimate desire.
