Senate President Ahmad Lawan has again countered claims of
leading a rubber stamp legislature.
In an interview with Daily Trust, the Senate President stated that
they have disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari on many
occasions but have adopted a “behind the scenes” settlement
method.
Lawan averred that it will be unfair to him, the people and the
senators who elected him to choose right from the beginning to just
fight in the name of independence of the legislature.







He said;
“Do you know that we have disagreed with Mr. President,
the executive arm of government, many times? People
don’t know, because what we have adopted is to go behind
the scenes and solve our problems.
“I have also witnessed better service delivery to the people
when there was cooperation and mutual respect between
the two arms.
“I think I will be unfair to myself, to the people and to the
senators who elected me to choose right from the
beginning to just fight in the name of independence of the
legislature.
“I believe in the independence of the legislature more than
people think. Now they say we are a rubber stamp
assembly.
“What people don’t know is that there is nothing that in the
opinion of the Senate or national assembly that will
jeopardise the liberty of our people or against the interest
of the majority of Nigerians that we will do.
“Call us anything, if you like, not rubber stamp, call us steel
stamp or whatever it is. I can tell you, today this senate has
done, in the last count, 27 confirmations.
“Tell me, if we didn’t do those confirmations; tell me how
governance will be carried on? There will be so much
arbitrariness, maybe ministers will take advantage of where
they are to supervise; there could be a lot of abuse.
“So, we shouldn’t confirm people? If we confirm it is rubber
stamping.”

What is this rubber stamp saying? Audio disagreement.

Subservient "fatty-bum-bum" rubber-stamp Senate President.

If there is anything more than rubber stamp,thats what you are

And of course, the senate did not disagree with the president when it came to excluding the SE from getting any part of the current loan hustle
