Members of the Nigerian Senate, on Tuesday, accused the executive arm of the government of hiring “protest contractors” in Abuja, to protest against activities of the National Assembly.

This was sequel to a motion by Senator Banabas Gemade (Benue North East) on the floor of the Senate at the resumed plenary on Tuesday, July 3, 2018.
Gemade had raised a point of order, bringing to notice of the Senate, the protest outside the National Assembly complex, demanding the resignation of the presiding officers of the 8th Assembly over constituency projects.
The protesters, mostly women and youths were seen carrying placards with threats and cautions to the National Assembly.
Gemade condemned the protest and advised the Executive arm of government to focus on actions that would ensure even distribution of projects.
In his contribution, the deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu described the situation as shameful and embarrassing, attributing the protest to poverty and unemployment in the land.
His words: “Let me recognize that we have problems and challenges in Nigeria. But I would limit myself to the issue of unemployment and poverty. Rising from this, some people have found a way of surviving. One way of surviving in Abuja is to organise protest. There are people who are considered as protest contractors.
“What is happening is that some people go to government officials or governors who they believe are opposed to the National Assembly and collected a N1500 each for number of protesters and when they organize these young people, they pay them only N500 as in the case of today to come and protest in the front of the National Assembly.
“So each time I see them, I feel sorry for this country that some people are doing things they do not believe in. the issue of protesting today against constituency projects is to say the least very embarrassing.
“I come from a constituency in this country where indeed constituency projects is working and I challenge anybody who says it’s not working to come with any contradiction of what I am saying that constituency projects in my senatorial district has been implemented as allocations were released. There is no abuse whatsoever. I challenge anyone who feels it has been abused to come up with evidence of such.
“Any person who is opposed to the projects of our various constituencies, I consider the person as an enemy of the people. I will never for any reason be distracted by this. We should focus and ensure that in any budget that this is provided for because this is the only way we touch the lives of people we represent in this country.
“No amount of blackmail or intimidation should stop the implementation of constituency projects, I admit like every other thing in life, it is being abused in some places and by some people but that is not to suggest that the benefits out-numbers some of the issues we have raised.
“If anybody has any particular evidence of the abuse of constituency projects, the senate and indeed the National Assembly is prepared to deal with it. But to say that constituency projects should be discontinued, I believe that is the height of insensitivity to the part of our people. So whoever is collecting money to come to the National Assembly to come and oppose the issue of constituency projects that is not going to happen”.
On his part, Senator Attai Aidoko (Kogi East), said such “paid” protests cost at least N10 million to organise.
He urged the executive to double the funds for constituency projects in the country.
Senator Hamman Isah Misau (Bauchi Central), while contributing, accused the executive of sponsoring the protest against the National Assembly.
He said, “this demonstration you are seeing outside is organised by a serving Minister and a sitting Governor. These two people are trying to paint the image of the National Assembly black. They are doing this because there are certain people in the National Assembly they want to bring down.
“I don’t know if the people close to the President are advising him. These people when the President was away on medical issues, these same people were canvassing for President and Vice-president and the people close to the President are aware of this.
“I remember when the President was away for more than 100 days, the civil society organisation, and media were pushing the National Assembly to form a medical team and make the President’s seat vacant so that they will be change of government.
“The National Assembly under the leadership of Mr President (Saraki) and the Speaker, you people stood firm and defended the President when he was not strong. Today, ironically, the same people are the people, close to the President, that Mr president is taking more seriously than the Senate President and the Speaker.
“A lot of money was to be used on the National Assembly to declare that seat vacant. These same people looking for the seat of Mr President are now the good boys around the president. The people that want to bring you down”.
After much deliberations in condemning the perceived sponsored protests against the National Assembly, the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, urged the protesters to channel their grievances to the Executive that orders the release of funds.
Saraki noted that, in some communities in the country, constituency projects are the only ways through which the impact of governance is felt by Nigerians.
