One major characteristic feature of
a Representative Democracy is the
ability of the government to be
accountable to the citizens. Since
elected public office holders
assumed power through public
votes, it becomes imperative of
them to remain accountable to the

Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal
established to hold public office

President Goodluck Jonathan in
Nigeria has consistently promised
to be more accountable to the
electorates.
