Dear Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari,

DEMAND FOR A REFERENDUM ON WHETHER
NIGERIA SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THE TWO
TIER NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OR ONE
[1] WHY WE DEMAND A REFERENDUM ON
WHETHER WE STILL NEED BOTH THE SENATE
AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN
NIGERIA

– We have not seen nor spoken to any
Nigerian who, in all honesty, wants the
National Assembly as it is today, to stay.
The common consensus is that the National
Assembly as it is today, is a waste of tax-
payers money. For example,
– Over 80 Billion Naira is spent servicing the
lives and luxuries of 109 Nigerian Senators and
their over 2,000 aides.
– Almost similar amount is spent on the 360
members of the House of Representatives and
their retinue of Aides.
– No one can categorically say how much the
National Assembly budgets each year as it's
budget is the most secretive document in
Nigeria.
– No Nigerian can say that they are satisfied
with the way and manner Constituency Projects
are not executed across the nation.
– The National Assembly as constituted
today, is a burden that we are currently
bearing to please the mistake of our
constitution drafters who desired ‘vast’
representation from all parts of the country. In
reality, this can be achieved with lesser number
of people in the National Assembly as our
experience show that we have never been
consulted on any issues as the Law makers
represent themselves and not us.
– The National Assembly as it's constituted
today, is confused as to its primary role of
lawmaking. They have mistaken "Oversight
Functions for harassing, intimidating and
humiliating Public officers and Online Media
Practitioners who refuse to dance to their
tunes.
– The National Assembly has caused Nigeria
several deadlocks in governance and passage
of important legislation.
– It's also known that whatever the Lower
House passes, the Upper House confirms. So
what's the use and need of having both of
them? This has led to the wasting of the time
and energy of Nigerians to pass legislation that
ordinarily would take shorter time. – Politics
and selfish-interests are placed above
Nigerians, who sometimes have had to wait
years to have IMPORTANT and LIFE-
CHANGING legislation passed.
[2] OUR DEMAND:
Give us a referendum where we as Nigerians,
can decide if:
[1.] We want to keep this National Assembly
as it is now OR Not;
[2.] If not, which house should we keep?
[a.] the Senate OR
[b.] the House Of Represent
[3.] We appreciate that a REFERENDUM is an
expensive demand particularly at this time of
oil glut and economic malaise but it would be
worth a huge savings if Nigerians vote to have
just one House at the National Assembly.
Our demand is in the interest of our nation. We
want a streamlined, more efficient, cost
effective, better focused National Assembly
that will better serve the interests of all
Nigerians. Please return power to the people of
Nigeria by giving us a referendum.
Yours Faithfully,
SIGNED
People of Nigeria.

Reasons for Signing
I am signing because the current system of
government we are operating in Nigeria today
is draining the common wealth of the citizens.
We deserve a better deal from this arm of
government. In addition, their duty function
should be on a part time basis and payment
should be calculated ONLY on sittings.

I'm signing this petition due to the to much
corruption in the red chember.

This petition will be delivered to:
President Muhammadu Buhari
Prof Yemi Osinbajo
Abubakar Malami

alright boss.

Foolishness.
You can't abolish the Senate,unless you unitarize Nigeria.The Senate represents the federating units,while the House represents the people.
People should get educated before making fools of themselves.
