He lamented about bad federal structure, lack of understanding of the presidential system, and not running of the presidential system in the country. He stressed that our Political parties are still operating parliamentary system in thought, in deed, in action, behave as if they are operating parliamentary system. He furthered that the operator, the quality of the operator, the quality of the personnel that governs, the quality of the people that goes into the National Assembly must be looked at, because Nigerians are not absolutely getting the right quality.

He said, in every decent society, those who go to senate house, people called the elder statesmen are matured people unlike Nigeria, where we have first timers, who has never done politics before, inexperienced and immatured. what is he suppose to do? We cannot give what we do not have, the Former Ambassador to Philippines said.
