dc.description.abstractThere is yet another illustration of an ill-orchestrated dance towards anarchy by the inherently mischievous manner by which the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is being manipulated. The Nigeria Legislature formed a group to change or manipulate the political system reform by attacking and deriding the Executive government of its legitimacy to the point that it is forced to negotiate, in agreement with the ‘guerilla tactic’. The Nigerian legislature has been regarded as a guerilla parliament due to their unconstitutional activities, unconstitutional law-making, gross manipulation of the constitution, irrelevance acting against the constitution, and their threats to constitutionalism and their bastardization of the constitution. In essence, the paper seeks to address and interpret the procedure for impeachment as stipulated in the constitution. The realist theoretical perspective is adopted for the study to analyse the problem. The paper, therefore, recommends that there should be an amendment to the constitution to harmonize the relationship between the two arms of Government. The legislature should also focus more on making laws that would promote good governance in the country.
