Nigeria 8th Assembly 2015 Elections; Wind of Change?

 

 As it is been said, the only thing constant is change. The word change is a slogan on most of Nigerians lips, which has been actualized through incumbent ruling government. After all and sundry went to the polls on March and April to press home their demands, they were expecting a change in government that will soothe the under par socio-economic status of the bottom placed triangle population, little did they know it will be a total overhaul of the whole system, top to bottom.

The National Assembly has been seen a major determinant or I should say must be actively involved in the sharing of dividends of democracy as against the ‘business as usual’. That is why past elections in both chambers has witnessed many politicking, thereby mandating the ruling party in government  to field their best candidates for the leadership positions for both chambers- Senate and House of Assembly.
