The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Thursday said any request from President Muhammadu Buhari would make Nigeria a better place, and such would be acted on “expeditiously.”

Lawan spoke when the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Itse Sagay visited him in his office on Thursday.

Sagay had called for the timely passage of the Special Criminal Court and other similar bills, saying such would help the anti-corruption war and ensure that the fight was successfully won with speed and energy.

He also appealed to the Senate to consider the confirmation of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.

Responding, Lawan said, “This is a new Senate. Going by our rules and I believe that goes for the House of Reps too, any issue that was not concluded in the last National Assembly, will have to start all over again.

“So, as far as we are concerned, those bills will have to come again and start to go through the process from the very beginning.

“We are ready. In fact, we are in a haste if those bills are ready for us to start working on them.”

Lawan said there was no request before the Senate for the confirmation of the acting chairman of the EFCC.

“I want to assure you that any request that comes from Mr President is a request that will make Nigeria a better place in terms of appointments or legislation.

“When such request comes, the Senate will act expeditiously to ensure that we play our part in the confirmation or passing of legislation appropriately.”

Sir, not all requests are good. Example: Death penalty for Hate Speech is a no go area. Turn Back on that. We Nigerians doesn't want that. Noone wants that. Thanks.

Perfect definition of rubber stamp legislature

Biafra have nothing in common with the ZOO

You folks should have a poll and tell us exactly what percentage of Igbos want Biafra because the people I see around here in Lagos don’t look like they are ready to leave their businesses and buildings to move to the East to do Biafra

Rubber stamp Senate.
The worst ever.

Democracy means that the executive and the legislature should be separate and check each other (principle of checks and balances)

If all the executive decides is right why then do we need the legislative?

We should then scrap that arm and let the executive make laws too.
That'd save us a lot of money too..

Coming from Senate president Rubber Stamp 1 of Africa. Wehdonsa

For GOD so loved Nigeria and Nigerians that he gave us Buhari.

Biafra have nothing in common with the ZOO

You get time o. The guy is drunk in misplaced loyalty.

I won't say more.

If that’s the case, I don’t see why we should be paying the Nigerian senate.
Buhari should be able to make laws himself.

A very good man is the President.He wants the best for the country.

plaindealer:
@ Igbos gnashing teeth, wailing and crying, this is about Nigeria, not about Biafra so don't commit suicide. Worry about Biafra and let Nigerians worry about Nigeria.

Deep truths.

Chaii...nigerians enjoy your useless senate president....

We are in trouble. This is a man that should check and balance the Executive talking like a housemaid of the executive.

Shouldn't we merge the Legislature with the Executive and now know we are back to military rule, at least we will save cost. This is sad!
