CACAWA:
a local govt chairman was also elected, so what is your point?

A minister is more powerful than a senator. A minister represents the president. His opinion makes impact, while a senator needs to team up with majority of his colleagues to make anymeaningfulimpact.

A minister is at par with a state governor...a minister controls several agencies of govt and can determine how much of federal presence any state would feel. Many state governors have to seek approval from ministers before downing any project. For example, to build a road anywhere, you need approval from ministry of environment, ministry of housing, ministry of works and ministry of lands. If a finance minister says NO, you can't even collect state loans. Who controls CBN?

A state has three senators, just one governor, and just one minister.

A minister also controls financial power...all a senator has is his salary and allowance.

Finally, a minister is a principal member of the executive while a senator may not even be a principal member of the senate.

QED

Thank you bro...You said it all.
Majority of Nairalanders have misinterpreted this question.
Remember the question is an agitation between a senator and a minister and not senators and a minister; senators and ministers; ministers and a senator. There will be different answers for each case

To answer d question correctly, u av to bring ursef to d Nigeria settings. N in d Nigeria settings d path way to d answer to to ask d question: Who controls more cash?

In Nigeria d senators go to d ministers to beg for cash n contracts thereby reducing dia hold n power on d ministers hence, d ministers have more power.

Again we heard d minister ar saints hence we ar expecting power of divinity. N we knw hu hold divine power hold of of power.

this is not 2go please. if u are typing, type sensibly and in a matured way too.

Using ur logic a local govt chairman is nire powerful than a minister? I dont think so...but a senstor has more powers onviously.

It's alright. U av a gud day ahead. Peace.

Campaign , Recognition , Rally are not a little thing to an appointed minister
A senator can become a governor easily
Not all minister can become a governor
As an aside , A minister in a particular ministry have no say in another ministry .
