The National assembly has be going from one comedy to another, since they commence this legislative session, it is now bordering on Tragi-comedy, because the nation has been suffering greatly as a result.

And i put the blame squarely on the feet of OBJ, it is he who masterminded the weeding out of more competent legislators, many of whom had many years of experience in the legislative process, because opposition to his third term project. We are now left with confused neophyte who have not added any value to the legislative process. As bad as the last legislative session was, with all the intimidation from the executive, i cannot imagine them being helpless in the face of the present Yaradua inflicted debacle afflicting the nation today.

Now the National assembly things that, their job description is primarily to pass resolutions, meanwhile the actual job of lawmaking which is their primary responsibility along with their oversight function had been abandoned. Week in week out we hear of one resolution or the other.
Two weeks ago it was a resolution declaring the vice-president as acting president, when what they should have done is commence impeachment proceedings or direct the executive to provide the medical report of the president.

The traji-comedy continued yesterday with a series of resolutions by the house of representatives. One being that the Edo state governor should reinstate suspended local government chairmen, another condemning the impeachment of the former speaker of Edo House of Assembly and another directing the I.G to investigate alleged signature forgery by some members of the Edo house of assembly.

Governor Adams Oshiomole has rightly rebuffed them that he cannot be intimidated, and is reminding them that he is not bound by their resolution because Resolutions by the National assembly is not a law, it is only an opinions or at best a suggestion. The funniest one is the one directing the IG to investigate a case of forgery. Does the police require a resolution before they can carry out their duty. If that is the case then the house would need a whole lot of resolution, resolution to investigate any crime that occurs in Nigeria before the police can act. Why don't the people that allege that their signature had been forged report officially to the police, for the police to commence investigation. Is that not the way crimes are to be treated in Nigeria?

Please someone to tell the National assembly, that there are very crucial sectors that need laws to be promulgated so as to begin the road to recovery. We need Electoral Laws, FOI Laws, Power sector laws, in fact the List is endless, so they should stop passing useless resolutions and constituting useless investigative panels.
