The funny thing about the comment above is that when you ask him what the government should do differently....or what the PDP owuld have done differently....there would be (for the most part) silence...then they repeat like a broken record their opinion of the current government's thinking process.

Poor opposition.

Some lawyers in Lagos on Monday threatened to sue the Senate on the ongoing moves to amend the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act 2004.

The lawyers said embarking on such an amendment at a time when the Senate President was being tried by the tribunal was in bad faith.

Mr Tope Alabi, a human rights lawyer, said the Upper Chamber has the constitutional duty to legislate for the country, but that the motive for making the law must be right.

“The Senate has the constitutional power to amend any law but the motive must be right and for the good of the country,’’ he said

The bill to amend the CCT Act tabled on April 14 by Senator Peter Nwoaboshi scaled a second reading at the Upper Chamber.

Senate President Bukola Saraki was docked at the tribunal on a 13-count charge bordering false declaration of assets and money laundering to which he pleaded not guilty.

He challenged his trial at both Federal High Court and the Supreme Court which ruled that he had a case to answer at the CCT.

Alabi:“The intention of the Upper Chamber to amend the CCT Act when Saraki is standing trial before the CCT is clearly in bad faith.

“Nigerians must rise to oppose it, I will proceed to challenge them (senators) in court.”

He advised the senators to join President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war, instead of giving themselves out as aiding corruption.

Mr U.P.E. Nnaji, said the Senate was trying to make retroactive laws as it was done under the military era.

“They should focus on legislations that are beneficial to the citizens rather than wasting our lean resources to legislate on irrelevancies.

“They should stop the amendment or face court action,’’ he also told NAN.

For Mr Chris Ayiyi, the amendment was nothing to worry about for as long as it was not retroactive.

According to him, Senate is empowered to repeal or amend any law, but that it should be done with sense of responsibility.

Ayiyi urged Nigerians to have faith in the lawmakers and believe that the amendment of the CCT Act was for the future.

Corroborating Ayiyi’s position, Mr Chibuikem Opara, said:“Although the Senate has the powers to amend any law, such amendment must be done for the common good.

“It is not to favour or persecute any person no matter his or her class.”

This has to do with the solid minerals in the North Central. Nigeria is gradually focusing on other sources of revenue apart from crude oil.

superstar1:
You too will credit yourself for coming up with this shallow response.

In one sentence, are there no southern senators in the committees?

emorse:
Please educate me. Is there anything stopping the presidency from releasing the budget proposal to the public after submitting to the NASS? If not, I think that's the way to go next year. Everything should be done in the open to cut out the possibilities of these shady stunts.

Very unfortunate comment from a Senator. Trying to win the emotion of the Igbo. In the last 16 years you were sharing the loot you never remembered us, now the table has turned. Where were you when the yank away the coastal rail line.
Politics of bigotry.

BeardedMeat:
Now I am very convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that Sahara Reporters has been contracted to facilitate the implosion of Nigeria. This is how this government will continue bickering with its citizens till the country eventually implodes. I wonder if SR are part of the US backed destabilizing militia in Nigeria that RevDesm0ndjuju spoke about.
