Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has reacted to the letter written by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, to the Senate Committee on the Humanitarian Crisis in North-East.

Saraki, who spoke through the Senate Spokesman, Sabi Abdullahi, stated that Lawal’s letter stating that he would not appear before the Senate Committee, because he had gone to court to challenge his invitation, implied that the Legislature can equally go to court to stop the entire government headed by President Muhamamdu Buhari, from working.

Recall, that the refusal of the SGF to appear before the Senate, came barely a few hours when the Customs Comptroller-General, Hammed Ali, had also declined to appear before the Senate, claiming that it would be subjudice for him to return to the Senate in uniform, since a Legal Practitioner had asked the Federal High Court, Abuja, to restrain the National Assembly from compelling him to wear uniform in the performance of his duties.

According to the Senate Spokesman, Nigeria’s democracy was heading towards total destruction, because of the refusal of the cabals in Aso Rock to honour Legislative summons.

Saraki said: “We are performing our constitutional mandate, and if anybody is going to court to stop us, then what it means is that we should all go to court and stop the entire government from working.

“That is exactly what we are saying; that if this (refusal to honour Legislative summons) continues to happen, then goodbye to democracy. It means I can even go to court to stop you from doing your work.

“We will see how that will continue to play out, and I think this is the end of democracy in Nigeria, if that continues to play out.”

The dictator clueless gworo chewing,kunu drinking daura local chief which Nigeria was mistakely handed over to, he is 2 arrogant and self-centered

So when and where did he say he will shut down d government in 72 hours O. P.?

Militarized democracy is the system of government we have in our country now!

.What is going on at BMC camp


they have suddenly gone mute for more than 24hrs which is unusual

Hmmm, this one strong oo..

But on a second though, Nigeria is a big joke, nothing is gonna happen sha. even if anything happens, we are used to abnormality... so, it will still look as if nothing happened.

So, who bears the brunt if the entire institutions of government are shutdown? It seem the cabals in Aso Rock have gained a lot strength since the return of Mr President. Why would on earth somebody alleged to have diverted money met for IDP would go to court to stop Nigerian Senators from carrying out proper investigation. What kind of country is this?

Why will all this appointee disobey the senate? It now looks like will are practising totalitarianism system of government.

totalitarianism government loading...

The Senate and grandstanding is like butter and bread.
Saraki should have been enlightened about the power and limits of the legislator before vying for it.

The legislative is the most powerful arm of government in paper but the most inconsequential in act. It is more of a prestige than authority.

Buhari setting a bad precedence for our nascent democracy.

Issorite

Sarrki seems to have withdrawn his services

Buhari is bad for Nigeria Democracy, he is still a military man at heart.
While people like OBJ have mixed around with civilians after leaving the military, picking more university degrees while mixing with civilians all over the world, people like Buhari, Danjuma have refused to move beyond their military world-view.
A fulani bigot to boot !

abegi tell that to that none entity called jonathan that couldnt defeat boko haram since 2011....

buhari has our support....

buhari is a military man,and??...

we that voted him knew that from the start....boko claiming caliphate and you dont see that as a problem....

be honest...you are just angry with buhari because he is a moslem,not realy because he is a military man...

Senator Vs The cabals season one loading

Government is made up by Executive, Legislature and Judiciary.

Why don't some people in today's govt understand the above?

Buhari's chosen officers need to understand how govt functions in a democracy, not during miitary rule.

How can a common govt appointee ignore the Legislature made up of elected members?

It is becoming interesting. Let the Royal Rumble begin.

Rule of law is dead under Buhari administration.


Genius J

Our democracy is heading down the cliff

thats the point...we dont realy understand what the guy is angry about..

maybe this guy has prove that the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary are not legit...

buhari just said people get titles through illegal ways....this has to do with this situation too...

we have to be careful when judging....

i dont see any reason why he shouldnt put on his uniform....not a biggy..their is something much crazier going on in the senate that the Executive is trying to fight...
