I do not care who is more powerful. What I am interested in who is contributing more to the development of Nigeria. Not who is the richest or the poorest, or the most this or that. The right question should be who is the most productive? |

A minister is more powerful than a senator. Senators only help the presidency to do screening for due process sake but senator can't sack minister. The impact of d minister is felt Whether positive or negative |

A senator is a legislator while a minister is of presidency. Could d supremacy we talk about here financialy or constitutionaly. Howbeit, i think a senator has an edge over a minister. Hence, a minister can be sacked and canot apply on a senator. |

Sweetguy25:I totally disagree with you cos senators can make and break minister and can even impeach president. That was why they remove sanusi, even ministers are guided by law made by senators. Infact reps is more powerful than them let alone senators. |

A Nigerian Senator is only greater than a Minister before their confirmation. Once a Minister is confirmed in Nigeria he's greater than a Senator,forget Senators summoning Minister-Nigerian Senate summons Minister just to ask them- man why are you eating alone without throwing a little Ghana-must-go for us?Come and explain to us why or do the ''needful'' give us our little share. Ministers head Ministry and have unbridled access to public fund,award contracts,wine and dine with the President,and if the president happens to be someone like GEJ you can make money rain with your family,friends,boys etc holding the Umbrella. Economically Ministerial Portofolio is more lucrative than Senate because except the Senate President,his Deputy other Senators don't see mega money outside political hustling which is not limited to Committee level runs and summoning Ministers etc. Senate only advantage over Minister is security of tenure only. Compare when Chief Mrs Stella Odua was a Minister and now a Senator ect and understands what am talking about. For eg, If Mr Labaran Maku,Okonjo Iweala etc and a former or current Senator is contesting for a new political post the Former Minister or current Minister is easily more bankable politically. So Ministers are more politically exposed than Senators because they're Constituencyless i.e their Constituency is the whole country while Senators represents a portion of their state. That's why most politicians ''retire'' to the Senate which most State Governors that looted their state dry are ''comfortably'' enjoying. 1 Like |

Majority of Nairalanders have misinterpreted this question. Remember the question is an agitation between a senator and a minister and not senators and a minister; senators and ministers; ministers and a senator. There will be different answers for each case |
