Ours is even better. In USA, the Congress can dismiss or remove a member from the Congress. In Nigeria, dismissing of a member is through recall by his or her constituentm

U should add that in the US u only get dismissed/removed for committing serious offences like fraud, bribery, corruption and rebellion.

Not a member making an allegation about what the senate has been found guilty of in the past.

But which kind yeye democratic system we dey run for this country?

A senator is a representative of his constituents; they are the ones who voted for him to represent them at the national level. Why should fellow senators suspend a senator thereby preventing him from carrying out legislative duties which his constituents sent him there to do?

Senators suspending their fellow senator because they do not agree with him on an issue should not be allowed by law. Why prevent him from carrying out his legislative duty when u didn't vote him into senate in the first place?
According to the law all of them are equal before the law. But when the person being suspended cannot defend his rights waitin make we talk now.....

As in ehn. Someone who didn't vote for you can suspend you. Meanwhile they made the laws almost impossible for the actual constituents to recall the senators THEY voted. Democracy indeed

The shocking thing here is that u see common man like me and u supporting the suspension. Their own representatives in the senate does not really care about their constituents and wouldn't mind padding budget just to get a piece of the national cake.

This Ningi man has raised an issue that should be of serious concern for all and sundry; instead they are busy defending the suspension. smh

You lack understanding about this issue, you just dey do follow follow. The President clearly presented 27trillion budget but if Ningi says it was 25trillion, where's the proof?.

The suspension should be

The proof is in the details which many Nigerians don't pay attention to. There are so many frivolous items when you pay closer attention to the budget.

There are numerous cases of repetitive projects.

There's a project for building of a worship center listed under the ministry of agriculture. Things like this is what they use in "padding".

The senate did not investigate his claim but went ahead to suspend him.The allegation was true.
So you investigate without proof, is that how you investigate in your village

Slander and libel is not allowed in any sociey
The other senators also represent their constituencies and they have decided his constituency voted an idiot who cannot follow simple rules of the society so they will be excluded until they vote with sense


.

He was not suspended because they did not agree with him but because he did not have proof and he slandered them

that's why those agitating for Biafra is agitating and ur likes are against them. It will surely reach everyone

If the solution was biafra, all the eastern governors will have been over performing, other agitators were fighting nnamdi Kanu over mismanagement of funds contributed too. So the solution is not fragmentation

If there's no such thing as suspension for "bad" behaviour then the minority of the house and opposition members will not let the senate to function.

Beside a senator technically relinquish his constituency power to the senate and their elected leaders...

the senate president techically represents all constituencies so technically the constituency are being catered for.....

only the "hungry senator" will suffer during a suspension but the "greedy senator" will not cause trouble to warrant suspension "the last thing the people voted him there for"....

I have never seen any senator in Nigeria suspended for or while doing his legislative duties it's usually squabbles and skirmishes over "imprests" to sit and say nay and aye....

so after saying that then you go back and snitch on your colleagues is bad and what is bad is bad...I raise grin

Have you not heard his colleagues say he's talking without proofs?, till now no proof has been shown. Abaribe has also come out to say Ningi has no proof. Do you even have sense at all?

Now we understand why the hastily suspended the senator from Bauchi state..

For speaking the truth and standing on his word even if they wan suspend am

To discipline the next .. saboteurs..

One Yoruba Senator even requested he be suspended for a year..

Another Yoruba asked for 6 months

Thank Godly one with conscience... knowing the guy was being honest .. only you don’t talk while eating prayed for 3 months.

As e stands like.. with Apc..

Padding has been officially formal.. with a starting of 3 trillion

Next year budget will get 10 trillion with no one to talk or question

Nigeria is gone... Tinubu truly came prepared to loot steal destroy and damaged the country


God help us
Just because their tribal man is the president

u are the one who lacks sense because the person u quoted was only telling u what ningi said. He didn't claim ningi was right or wrong. So if u need proof don't ask us ask ningi.

The type of democracy in which whenever a legislator who is fighting for us the citizens gets punished by the political crooks, we go about our normal businesses as if nothing has happened, only grumbling on social media. Sometimes, we even insult them and say they were fighting for themselves.

Ask Dino Melaye, Abdulmimuni Jibril, Ali Ndume, Omo-Agege, etc. We the citizens betrayed them and they had no option but to go and beg the crooks for forgiveness.

We have serious problem in our system of the said democracy ! What are the procedures for the suspension according to constitution? If the constitution make it easy for same house member to suspend his colleague then there must be problems. These are reasons these people keep making policies that favour them and their families instead of the mases . Believe me the constitution is the root of our problem in Nigeria 🇳🇬 😑

You’re only being sentimental.
The senate like other institutions have rules and standing orders.

Any senator that gets suspended on the basis of violating those rules should be blamed for being suspended on that basis.

If the senator cared about his constituents, he shouldn’t have violated the rules of the senate.

Ningi's case is not about opposition talking but about him lying without proofs and setting up a coup against Akpabio.
The link below is of the minister of Budget and planning accepting that the budget was padded and insisting it is right. You poor arse dudes who will not gain a penny from the padding are defending it in the name of supporting your tribal politician or the politician you share same religion with.
