The thought-provoking question as to whether the Legislature in Nigeria represents a watchdog or a lapdog is the main issue on the much-publicized monthly interview discourse, Boiling Point Arena, billed to hold on Sunday April 13.
To offer perspectives on the matter is a Media Icon, Elder Statesman and popular Columnist, Chief Tola Adeniyi who is the Guest Speaker on the current affairs programme holding via Zoom and to be transmitted live on five radio stations across Lagos and Ogun States.
Among the radio stations are WASH 94.9FM, Sweet 107.1FM, Roots 97.1FM, Ẹrí-Nbe 92.1FM and Women Radio 91.7FM.
The once-in-a-month interview discourse with an incredibly large online followership, is hosted by a media professional and public relations strategist, Dr Ayo Arowojolu who parades 35 years career experience spanning the media, banking and education sectors.
The interview is themed: “The Legislature and the Waning Principle of Check and Balances in Nigeria”.
Expectedly, Chief Tola Adeniyi will dig in on the myriads of issues involved including giving a definitive answer to the frequently asked questions as to how far can Nigeria’s democracy go with the public perception of a “rubber stamp” legislature across the political space.
Also germane for discussion is the feasibility of sustaining the bi-camera, two-tier legislative houses at the federal level, the National Assembly, given the humongous spendings in several billions of naira annually.
Chief Tola Adeniyi whose prolific writing skills have churned out 14 books of biography, poetry and drama as well as over 15,000 articles, essays, short stories and reviews, occupies a conspicuous spatial in media practice and management across five continents.
Foremost traditional ruler, the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Prof Saka Matemilola is expected as the keynote Speaker to herald the discourse in his capacity as the Chairman, Boiling Point Council of Royals and Elders.
