Under the Babangida administration, the political bureau recommended at the federal level

During the Babangida administration, the Political Bureau recommended the adoption of a bicameral legislature and a two-party system at the federal level in Nigeria. A bicameral legislature consists of two separate chambers, usually a House of Representatives and a Senate, while a two-party system is a political system where two major parties dominate the political landscape, with other smaller parties having minimal representation or influence. The aim of the recommendation was to improve representation and participation in the political process, and to create a more stable and effective government through a balanced sharing of power and responsibility between the two chambers of the legislature and the two major political parties.
