I am curious about two issues and would like to raise them here in the hope of finding some answers.
1. When the President of Nigeria wears a ceremonial military uniform should it have an actual military rank? If so, which rank? I ask this because in the last one year or so, I have heard commentators at such ,military events address our President as 'Field Marshall' on national TV...
2. Secondly, I have heard the terms 'parliament' or 'parliamentarian' being used in reference to our national assembly or its members, and sometimes by the members themselves in the same way even on the floor of the national assembly. My questions are: in the context of the 1999 constitution, do we have such an entity as 'parliament'? Within the ambit of the constitution, are those words synonymous? Can anyone hold 'parliament' accountable? If so, does parliament refer to the national or state assemblies?
I look forward to and will very much appreciate any feedback.
Sincere regards, Dabesaki
