I want them to summon me. USELESS SENATE!!!!!!!!!!!! BUNCH OF CRIMINALS!!!!!!!

arewafederation:
How do you expect a Senate filled with crooks,illiterates, and certificate forgers to understand the law?

I have forwarded your name to the senate committee on ethics and privileges for necessary actions.

You will receive your IV to appear before them in no distant time.

The senate needs to go and study the laws and codes guiding their conduct and actions, they are not an absolute arm of government. They need to stop this overreaching arritude, they are NOT the law.

U cnt win dis battle SENATE

ALAYORMII:



Since Nigeria started this democratic dispensation in 1999, only Obasanjo has been able to really stamp his foot that he's the boss even though he can over do it sometimes

The others after him have all been a pun in the hand of the NASS

But GEJ had David Mark in his pockets.

It's rather unfortunate we have these sets of rogues as senators. #NigeriaIsInTrouble!

signz:


Thank you very much.

The Senate can order the IG to arrest him and drag him to Senate.

Nope! That guy quoted the end of that section.. He decided to skip section 88 which clearly states under which condition that the senate can summon someone..

janefarms2015:


Who is ordinary office clerk? Do you know the position he occupies? Do you know this erudite professor's records and antecedents? No lawyer or any honest Nigerian who is matured enough in age and intellect will not respect this man's view on issues of national development

..... My brother whoever he is, he is a citizen of the federal republic of nigeria, and an ordinary political appointee of the president not even elected.... The Senate is bigger than any individual nigerian dead or alive and are constitutionally empowered to summon anyone... They only can remove the most powerful man in the land, the president... So what exactly is Your Point. Arrogance has been the bane of most appointees of this government and I hope it doesnt consume it.

PublicAssurance:
Itse Sagay has no atom of credibility.

He does

cktheluckyman:

Erudite my as.s.Professor Sagay is a very big disgrace to the legal profession. Since his appointment into the buhari's government, he seemed to have lost it.His end is near.It is either he and magu goes or the Senate will completely cripple buhari's regime.The choice is his

help me tell the kids
if itse sagay can win a local government

ExInferis:

Did he??

Itse Sagay is very old, demented, and certainly past his prime. Why Buhari went to buy a strong and reliable car, and choosed 1960 Peugeot 404 instead of 2016 Lexus 460 I don't know.

AngelicBeing:
The most painful part is that all the useless senators + federal government + state government + federal executive members + state governors & their executive team + head of different agencies both state & federal are all drawing allowances, feeding fat while the impoverish masses are crying daily and yet no response, l pity family members l have in Nigeria, l saw all this before l ran away years ago from the country and up-till date the news l read of happenings in Nigeria is shocking

Yep, recession has no meaning to them because it has absolutely no impact on their fat allowances, that's why a government official can comfortably say "recession is just a word"

Anyways, I wish all Nigerians good luck, we are in dire need of it, cos as it is right now it's looking very bleak.

tell your paymaster sarathief, he is not the president of nigeria and therefor cannot CRIPPLE the country. They can only make noise, they cannot execute a single shii. Am glad buhari is cutting them down to size lol, and without utering a single word fa. Just send your doggs (magu, ali, sagay and babachir) to keep them sweating

cktheluckyman:

Okay oya ask the professor of law to confirm the new REC and ministerial nominees. The Senate will grind the machinery of government until the president will have no other choice but to sack them to appease the Senate

The unfortunate thing is this, soon, the Senate would realise they don't have the monies to buy anything as all the funds are locked in the TSA that only the Executives have a key to.

By provision of Section 82 of of the constitution:
82. If the Appropriation Bill in respect of any financial year has not been passed into law by the beginning of the financial year, the President may authorise the withdrawal of moneys in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the Government of the Federation for a period not exceeding months or until the coming into operation of the Appropriate Act, whichever is the earlier

The Executive can continue to spend money from the CRF FOR MONTHS while the Senate would be without funds. I am sure you know what will happens when there is no money to pay salaries, pay allowance, fuel cars or the lot?

Na the Senate go bow, they do need the executive to release money for them to function AND that might be HOW we get to know the details of the National Assembly budget.

Gbagam!

bufness:
lol, a whole professor of law, a office clerk?, you dont know what you're saying

The same way these children of hates termed Osinbajo a mere commissioner only to turn around to swallow their trash when Osinbajo became the acting President.

The only person that seems to me to have lost it is you. What do you have against him? Nothing. Then, what's your rants all about?

The consortium of presidents surrounding Buhari are just growing unruly and arrogant by the day and Buhari is not doing anything to curb it.


Here are some of the consortium of presidents in Buhari's govt. that are beyond his control.

Curropt and arrogant president Magu of EFCC
Arrogant president Hamid Ali of customs
Arrogant president Sagay

We have too many arrogant presidents in this govt.

adioolayi:


Senate on a long thing!

Hahahaha! on a very loooooooooooooonnnnggg thing! The man schooled them!

To summon him is like summoning the president,, he is an adviser to the presidency

Guyman02:


He is an appointee of Mr President and not above the Senate

his appointment is advisory, not backed by law.

adioolayi:

l agree with you, l dont even know if to wish the military to come back because the civilians are just clueless, military is not good enough but if they will do better, let them take over and sack all these thieves

pauljumbo:


that does not mean he will insults an arm of government

We know when an ignorant person is talking.
Have you bothered to read the relevant section of the Constitution he referred to or are you one of those who ignorantly assume the Senate can summon just anyone?
