ABUJA (Sundiata Post) In Nigeria, a recall process is more likely to succeed if the Governor is involved in the effort. Because of the public funds at their disposal, Governors can conveniently organize a recall effort to get rid of a gadfly Senator or Rep in his State. However incompetent a Senator is, provided he is in the good books of the Governor, a recall initiative against him/her can hardly fly. Why do the Governors have a firm hold on the Houses of Assembly that helps them to escape impeachment?
With huge public funds at their disposal, the Governors can at any time throw a sop to Cerberus if they feel threatened by the lawmakers. This seeming unity between the Governors and their legislatures is not founded on principles, it is bound by the rope of expediency and opportunism. Such arrangement produces Houses of Assembly packed with eunuchs who are mortally scared to assert their independence. Any group of men or women who bargain their powers away cannot assert themselves.
