The Action Congress has called for the immediate suspension of the chairman of the recently-dissolved Senate Committee on Communication, Sylvester Anyanwu. In a statement issued by its national publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the dissolution of the committee, while commendable, does not constitute adequate sanction for Mr. Anyanwu’s act.

The senate, had last week Thursday, disbanded the Anyanwu-led committee on communication over alleged fraud in the committee’s screening of the recently appointed chairman and members of the board of National Communications Commission.

The disbandment of the committee followed allegations that the chairman of the committee, Sylvester Anyanwu (PDP, Imo State) conducted the screening for the appointed chairman and members of the board of National Communications Commission (NCC) alone,

at night, and later claimed that six members of the committee were involved.

According to the opposition party, “First, the chairman allegedly conducted the screening alone, and at night, only to claim that six members of the committee did so. Then he signed the screening report on behalf of two of the committee members whom he claimed attended the screening, without their consent,” said the party.

Describing the act as “outrightly fraudulent and criminal,” it however called that the act “must not be allowed to go unpunished if the integrity of the Senate is to be maintained.” The party is also calling for an investigation into the fraud allegations against the senator.

“His apology and appeal for leniency are an afterthought and should not stop the Senate leadership from sanctioning him to serve as a deterrent to others like him,” the AC said. “The dissolution of the committee is not enough.”

Is there honour amongst thieves.

Why dont they start from their own minority whip, the PEADOPHILE SENATOR AHMED SANI YERIMA.

I tell you those dishonorables will do nothing to that forger of signatures. What is the difference between that act and a student who indulges in examination malpractice, who is by law supposed to be sentenced to 21 years imprisonment? If it were to be some kidnappers, they will be on the IG's neck, to do something or resign. What is David Mark doing about this? Shall we ask him to do something or resign?

I am sad that there is nothing hallow in their chamber. It is very hollow, full of corruption stench.
