Governance: Fayemi proposes power sharing among political parties

A former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has called for an end to the “winner takes it” governance structure in Nigeria, saying the existing structure is too “adversarial”.

Mr Fayemi proposed that power should be shared among all political parties based on performance during elections. He said a party cannot score 21 per cent of votes and wants to rule 100 per cent.

He spoke in Abuja on Tuesday while delivering a keynote address at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday of Udenta Udenta, the founding national secretary of Alliance for Democracy (AD).
