“…In his two years as senate president, Mr Lawan has done nothing to improve the quality of governance in Nigeria. In trying to avoid conflicts with the executive, he abdicated his responsibility to hold the executive accountable and ensure accountability and government transparency. With little understanding of the importance of the parliament in overseeing the executive and the judiciary, he has failed to meet public expectations or even reflect the public’s concerns. Instead of establishing democratic norms, Mr Lawan has only become an accomplice in lowering the democratic IQ of the nation and the consequence crippling of any progressive reforms…”

“…Mr Lawan does not need to show brilliance to serve the Nigerian people he represents in the senate. He only needs to show a basic understanding of the role of the parliament in a representative democracy. And that fundamental is something that he lacks. And Nigeria is paying a huge price for it today. If these were ordinary days, it would not have mattered so much. After all, he was not the first mediocre senate president in Nigeria and won’t be the last. Unfortunately, these are extraordinary days when Nigeria needs its best eleven to have any chance of surviving.

“Every public utterance of Mr Lawan is a display of an unending cringe-inducing show. Where will one begin? Is it his reaction to Southern Governors who met in Asaba and demanded the restructuring of the country? The best Mr Lawan could offer was to knock the governors for not starting the reforms at the state level by granting independence to the local governments. Or was it is the bizarre argument that elected leaders should not champion agitations. This was coming from the man leading a national assembly that is supposedly overseeing a constitutional review.

“And if this is happening in an era when there is brilliance up or down the Nigerian succession line, Nigeria could have endured such misfortune and hope for better luck next time. But in this critical time when everything is at stake, a senate president of Mr Lawan’s calibre is a death knell for Nigeria.

“Unless a miracle happens, when Nigeria’s obituary is written, the name of Ahmed Lawan will be at the top of the list of the undertakers. History will remember Mr Lawan as a bad carpenter who was brought in at the dying minute to keep the leaking Nigerian boat afloat. But due to bad workmanship, he inflicted the deadly hole that finally sank the boat. On Mr Lawan’s tombstone, it shall be written in bold letters: Here lies the man who killed Nigeria to death.

The Senate President is the worse Senate President in the history of Nigeria. When he was fighting for this position, I thought he was going to turn things around. I never knew that the worse will happen under him. What a great country rule by unfortunate people!
