#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA! DR. DAVID OLUFON.

THE 9TH SENATE MUST BE SHUT TO ELECT A PRIME MINISTER IN 2023!

Shutting down the Nigeria Senate in this first quarter (January-March, 2022), and pruning the House of Representative members from 360 to 74, is the FIRST STEP to achieving the much-desired Parliamentary system of government in Nigeria and it should neither be a big deal nor an innovation!

All consecutive National Assembly (NASS ) bi-cameral legislators since 1999, had constituted the drainpipe of the Nigerian economy because of the illicit/criminal monetary largesse that accrue to them annually without consideration to the country’s financial state and the pains of the poverty-stricken masses whom they pretend to represent!

Following massive protests over Senate financial excesses veteran politician (1999-2022) and Senate President Ahmad Lawal at a public event in Abuja on Monday 13th December, 2021, disclosed that Senators/Representatives collect NGN52m and NGN32m, respectively as annual running allowances. According to him, the monthly salary of a Senator was NGN1.5m and that of a Representative was NGN1.3m! He told participants in a paper he presented at the First Distinguished Parliamentarians Lecture Series that the alleged NGN13m that dominated public domain some years back was a Senator’s quarterly office running allowance while that of the Representative was NGN8m, which according to him were the lowest in any presidential democracy in the world! At that amount, each Senator collected NGN3.25m monthly while his House of Representative counterpart collected NGN2m! In 2016, Senator Shehu Sanni, (then of the All Progressives Congress, APC) unveiled the secrecy behind Senators’ running allowance which was then NGN3.5million and whereas Senator Mrs. ‘Remi Tinubu claimed she got NGN3.8m - monies being paid from BORROWED FOREIGN LOANS! These narratives are completely opposite to Senator Lawan’s claims! Every lie has a terminal date!

The Appointed Time Is Now!
President Buhari should follow the example of his SENEGALESE counterpart, President Macky Sall, who on 19th September 2012, with the support of very patriotic Legislatives, SCRAPPED THE SENATE and saved USD$15million dollars which was ploughed to mitigate citizens’ losses following FLOOD DISASTERS and also to re-invigorate the nation’s economy instead of junketing the world for financial assistance!
FOR NIGERIA, REFERENDUM IS THE SOLUTION, NOT PREDATOR LEGISLATORS!

Please join this campaign for Peaceful Referendum that will ensure justice, fair play, equity and will permanently ERASE INSECURITY from Nigeria!
