Saraki: Senate Inaugurates 12-Man Committee by nuradeen011(m): 10:14pm On Apr 21, 2016
OrderPaperToday – As the crisis of Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President continues unabated, the Senate on Thursday, inaugurated a 12-man committee to seek amicable solutions that would bring about peace and stability in the upper chamber.

Although the Committee is officially charged with the responsibility of liaising with all senators towards settling differences or misunderstandings, ORDERPAPER.NG can report that the recommendations of the panel will go a long way in deciding the Saraki’s fate as Senate President.

Members of the committee drawn from all geopolitical zones of the country comprise Godswill Akpabio and Sen. James Manager (South South): Sani Yerima and Suleiman Hunkunyi (North West); Bukar Abba and Joshua Lidani (North East).

Others are Sam Egwu and Hope Uzodinma (South East); Barnabas Gemade and Abdullahi Adamu (North Central); and Monsurat Sumonu (the only female member) and Gbenga Ashafa (South West).

ORDERPAPER.NG reports that some members of the committee are not quite sympathetic to Saraki’s cause on account of his emergence as senate president and his continued trial for corruption at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Indeed, a member of the Committee from the North Central zone has been mentioned in hushed tones among senators as a possible replacement for Saraki should he eventually go down.

However, while inaugurating the committee on Thursday, Leader of the Senate, Mohammed Ali-Ndume said that the committee had been given one week to conclude its report and submit to Senate at plenary.

While charging members of the committee to look at all the issues affecting the Senate and proffer solutions, he said: “You are charged with the responsibilities of addressing issues affecting the Senate: you were selected based on your integrity, respect and capacity to contribute in solving these issues. We are confident that you can sit down to address all the issues confronting the Senate within and outside the senate as it is now.

“Most of you know the challenges the senate is going through, I do not need to elaborate, so we have reposed our confidence in you to settle the issues. Every senator is confident that this committee will put to rest all the issues that we have and we believe that even those issues that we have with the public will be addressed.”

According to Ndume, members of the committee would decide among themselves who would be chairman as the Senate leadership did not appoint anyone to that position.

Recall that the Senate named the Committee members Wednesday after rising from a closed door session presided over Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu as Saraki was in the dock at the CCT.

The concern here is that these bunch of ingrates called senators see the senate as an associate of old boys rather than an institution. Let these senators be reminded that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the senate, only Saraki is currently under trial and not the senate. The senate can continue to function properly, if only these senators know their job functions and stop parading themselves as security escorts for the senate president.

Just so ashamed for these senators.

Seperation of power does not mean destroying policy of the executive that will benefit Nigerians.

Seperation of powers is not using 35million naira to buy one SUV despite bad economy situation of the country. Insensitivity to the people is not seperation of power.

Seperation of power is not removal of Calabar lagos rail from the Budget despite knowing the economic importance of d project all in d name of myopic politics.

Seperation of power is not maliciously cutting money for major national development project like 2nd Niger Bridge, lagos Ibadan express way etc for no just cause.

Seperation of power is not diverting money meant for developmental project that will benefit d nation to constituency project that they will steal.

Seperation of power is not rushing the amendmend of CCT act in one week when PIB which has been with them for over a year has not pass a single reading.

Sabotage is not seperation of power. What Saraki NASS is doing currrently is Sabotage and not checkmating d executive.

Majority of Nigerians are against NASS. There is no leader/institution in d world no matter how bad or evil that 100% of the country will be against. Once majority of the people is against an institution,that means dat institution have lost support of that country.


The only people supporting NASS currently are IPOB tout and some PDP fanatics. And they are minority. And they are supporting NASS for political reasons and not for National development and growth. Mostly due to bitterness and hatred due to election loss hangover.

Majority of Nigerians are Pro Buhari, Pro APC and anti Saraki, anti NASS as at today. We support Buhari even in hard times like this because we know where we are coming from. And we know why things are hard. And we believe 2moro will be better than today after today's sacrifice and pain low oil price has placed on us

Most Nigerians are anti NASS for many reasons. Budget distortions, 36 SUV and Saraki are top reasons why Most Nigerians are against NASS. If majority of Nigerians are against NASS, it means Nigeria public is against NASS. Thus NASS is loosing public support.

IPOB taut and PDP fanatics are deluded. If you think Majority of Nigerians are supporting PDP today because of current temporary difficulties that will be overcome with time, then you are sitting on a long thing!

Majority of Nigerians are not silly. We are all aware of the impact of Oil price in Nigeria economy. Majority of Nigerians knows the cause and source of current hardship is oil price.

What Majority of Nigerians are praying for is for God to give d current govt the wisdom, foresight, energy and zeal to overcome d challenge of low oil price. So dat Nigeria can stand firm irrespective of low oil price.

In our complain,whining and fustration we hope and pray for better days ahead.

As at today, Majority of Nigerians are with Buhari and APC. And Majority of Nigerians are against NASS for using Saraki trial to create problem for the President, the country and Budget 2016.

All d noise over 2016 Budget by NASS would have been an opportunity for them to gain public support. But at the end they lost it because they never had good intention. The whole noise was to protect thier crook saraki so that Federal govt will soft pedal on saraki trial.

At the end, NASS made the Budget worse instead of improving it. They introduce more corruption and padding instead of reducing it. That shows they never had public interest or National interest for all d noise they made about the Budget.

All they wanted was for Buhari to share ghana must go with Money like PDP era and for FG to allow criminal Saraki go free. But they failed.

Those IPOB taut and PDP fanatics defending NASS with d slogan "Seperation of Power" should go and hug transformer. The aim of seperation of power was for good governance not criminality, wastage of resources, and myopic politics.

What NASS is currently doing is abuse of power, abuse of public trust and abuse of Goodwill of the Majority of Nigerians

Africans and their sit tight mentality until they are eventually disgraced. The senate presidents is charged for false asset declaration and he has not resigned. In sane societies accusations are just enough and such a leader will take the path of honor by resigning.

My guy got so high on weed, that he was searching
for his phone with the torchlight of the same phone he
was looking for. He got so worried about the phone
and was almost in tears even his room mate,who was
also high, decided to join him in the search.

After 45
minutes of searching, his phone rang, he picked the call and quickly replied the caller “I’ll call you back,
I’m looking for my phone ” and he angrily ended
the call and continued in the search for the phone he
just answered a call with. After a while, he then
decided to use the same phone to call his line and
when he got the busy network he turned to his room mate and said “guy forget, that phone don lost, the
person wey thief am, don off am ..

All our elected officers don't give a flying phork about us, all they care abt is how to move their selfish gains forward. We are approaching the last week of April, yet we are running a country without budget. For those that care about dates and duration, it is 1 year of Alhaji Mohammedu Buhari's presidency and there's been nothing to write about all of that time. They will drag saraki' case for the next two years to distract the populace from lack of proper governance and by the third year they will start election campaigns.

We the populace need to take governance more serious and hold our representatives to account on their actions and inactions... They will continue to make a fool of us until we start drinking palm wine with their skulls whenever they phuck up.
