ACF throws weight behind calls for Parliamentary System of govt in Nigeria

Nigeria’s political landscape has been jolted by the Arewa Consultative Forum’s (ACF) unexpected endorsement of a shift towards a parliamentary system of government.

The ACF, a prominent northern socio-political group, has traditionally advocated for a strong federal structure within the current presidential system.

Sixty federal lawmakers, led by Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda, had met with the ACF on Thursday with the aim of garnering support for their proposed legislation transitioning from the current presidential system.
