    African Journal of Professional Research on Human Development (AJPRHD Vol. 15, No 2b, June, 2019) ||gubdjournals.org SUBSTITUTING THE RULE OF LAW TO THE RULE OF THE RULER WITH IMPUNITY AND GRAND STYLE: A PEEP INTO EXECUTIVE RASCALITY AND SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA (2015-2019) By Abacha Umar Deribe Department of Political Science, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The executive forms one of the three arms of government in a democracy. It is the arm of government which the other two, the legislature and the judiciary exist to aid and complement for a successful democratic functioning. Every sane democratic government thrives on the code: The Rule of Law. However, different individuals who sit at the helm of national affairs are faced with options that range from observance and upholding the rule of law to ignoring and relegating it to the backdrop, but rather, ruling tyrannically with impunity. This places a big question mark on the integrity of democratic leaders and the possibility of providing dividends of democracy for the people. This paper takes a peep into Nigeria’s democratic leadership 2015-2019. It highlights issues of executive rascality and consequences for the country. The author opines that the executive urgently needs to redirect its approach to democratic leadership, eschew self-centredness, and uphold the rule of law at all times. Keywords: Rule of Law, Democracy, Executive, Transparency, Equity, Accountability, Impunity Introduction Democracy has commonly be defined and accepted to be government of the people, by the people and for the people. And the three arms of government in a democracy – the executive, the legislature and the judiciary – are meant to function in unison to achieve a noble democratic success.

  • Nigeria This Week Nigeria This Week Nigeria This Week
    OUR ANALYSIS ON JULY 24, 2020 NIGERIANIGERIANIGERIA THIS THISTHIS WEEK WEEKWEEK KEEP YOURSELF INFORMED ECONOMIC NINE NATIONAL POWER PLANTS SHUT DOWN LEAVING 2,079MW CAPACITY STRANDED According to the Nigerian Electricity System Operator on July 16, 2020, nine of the country’s 27 power plants were idle, leaving a total generation capacity of 2,079.1 megawatts stranded. The system operator put the nation’s installed generation capacity at 12,910.40MW; available capacity at 7,652.60MW; transmission wheeling capacity at 8,100MW; and the peak generation ever attained at 5,375MW. Total power generation in the country stood at 3,269.6MW, up from 3,074.6MW on June 15. Only 58% of Nigerians have access to electricity and an estimated 80% of those with access use an alternative source of electricity supply due to reliability concerns. The power sector lost an estimated N2.01 billion on July 14, 2020, due to constraints from the insufficient gas supply, distribution, and transmission infrastructure. The shutdown of the power plants was due to these factors including low load demand by the distribution companies and rupturing of the gas pipeline, among others. Due to the unstable power supply, companies in Nigeria are struggling to remain in operation. The high cost of production, exacerbated by the high costs incurred from powering generators places a huge strain on production companies. Electricity is a vital component of the industrialisation process and the constant power challenges in Nigeria have to be solved to aid socio- economic development and hence industrialization. 1 HEADLINE INFLATION IN NIGERIA CROSSED THE 12.5% THRESHOLD IN JUNE 2020 Inflation in Nigeria increased to 12.56% in June from 12.40% in May, the 10th consecutive monthly increase and the highest level in over two years.
