Lets sack the whole second arm of Government not only the senate. They don't even know that Nigerians are angry and tired of them with their stupid impeachment moves.

Self centered lots.

Sometimes i just wonder if does that make this decision actually attended d university. As a layman understanding of economic, is to try n economise his resources. We have a senate n a house of assemble, can't they just scrap one n may d oda do the job of d oda which we safe us more money.

You're soliciting for their sack because they're threatening the Presidency with impeachment?! Why not also ask for the sack of the States House of Assemblies since it has become the body in which the Presidency threatens his perceived enemies/opposition Governors with impeachment?!

You and I know that the presidency is not threatened. There will be no impeachment.

I am just concerned and furious the way these charlatans run our affairs. The house of assembly has been shut for over a month now without deliberations, passage of bills etc ..just because of a mere defection. ..and they will back on 3rd to start a 'free for all'.

There'll be nothing like free-for-all if the Presidency let the Speaker be!

The cost of running a bicameral legislature is too expensive. The Senate should be scrapped while the House of Representatives remains, as they are the true representatives of the people.

I'll propose a 291-member unicameral National Assembly. Each state would be represented by 8 legislators, whilst the FCT would be repped by 3 legislators.

I am also in support of scrapping one of the two cjambers, preferably the senate. While we are at it, we can scrap the minister of state and special adviser roles.

Yes, thr minister of state also baffles me, why the heck do we need it? But i think special advisers are there to councel the president on issues concerning different aspect if theeconomy

Unfortunately, only the senate can vote itself out of existence which they won't! So we are stuck with the Demons who eat 25% of our entire GDP for as long as Nigeria lasts!
