BREAKING: Fake Agency: Presidential System Is So Bloated That Scandals Like This Can Thrive Unnoticed – Ogunye

Legal practitioner Jiti Ogunye has attributed the emergence of major governance controversies in Nigeria to the structure of the country’s presidential system, arguing that its enormous size creates room for irregularities to go unnoticed for long periods.

He made the remarks during an interview on Arise Television while discussing the controversy surrounding the alleged operation of a fake government agency.Favor And Life Battles?

Speaking during the programme, Ogunye explained that the current presidential system has evolved into an expansive structure with numerous agencies, committees, councils and offices, making effective oversight increasingly difficult.

According to him, the complexity of the system creates opportunities for administrative failures and weak accountability.

He maintained that the sheer size of government institutions makes it possible for questionable activities to continue without immediate detection. Ogunye noted that the existence of several bodies operating simultaneously often makes it difficult for even experienced observers to keep track of every government institution.

During the interview, Ogunye said, “The presidential system has become so bloated that scandals like this can thrive unnoticed.”

He argued that the structure itself contributes to situations where individuals or groups may exploit institutional weaknesses before authorities become aware of what is happening.

The legal practitioner contrasted the presidential model with the parliamentary system, describing the latter as leaner and more efficient in terms of supervision and accountability.

He suggested that a parliamentary arrangement provides stronger mechanisms for monitoring government officials and ensuring regular scrutiny of public institutions.

According to Ogunye, the presidential system gives room for the creation of numerous advisory bodies, committees and councils, some of which may not have clear statutory foundations. He said such practices can make government operations more complicated while increasing the possibility of administrative confusion.

He further observed that successive administrations have continued to establish different committees and special bodies, adding to the already large government structure. Ogunye stated that this continuous expansion contributes to the difficulty of monitoring public institutions effectively.

Ogunye stressed that when government structures become excessively large, public accountability suffers because responsibility is spread across numerous offices and agencies. He noted that this environment can make it easier for irregularities to remain hidden until they eventually attract public attention.

The legal practitioner maintained that reforms should focus on creating a leaner and more efficient government structure capable of delivering better transparency and stronger institutional oversight. He argued that reducing unnecessary layers within government would improve accountability and public confidence.

His remarks came amid ongoing public discussions over allegations involving a purported government agency and wider concerns about oversight within federal institutions.

Ogunye insisted that strengthening governance structures and improving institutional accountability remain essential to preventing similar controversies in the future.
