The act of presidents and governors concurrently serving as leaders of political parties raises significant legal and moral questions in democratic systems. AMEH OCHOJILA, reports that though there is no law against such practice, it blurs the lines between executive powers and partisan interests, which are likely to inflict undesirable outcomes on governance in times of conflict.
The dual role of individuals simultaneously holding executive powers and representing partisan interests in Nigeria poses a lot of moral and legal questions. This is because of the potential conflicts of interest and the adverse effect of such on transparency and accountability as well as promoting the common good of the citizens.
