Olamide Francis: Nigerian Senate, Most Expensive Rubber Stamp by Nemere2020: 5:57am On Jan 21, 2022 |
The headline of leading newspapers in Nigeria on Thursday, January 20, 2022, was disheartening to read. Many of the dailies read, “Senate bows to Buhari.” The headlines were so because the Nigerian Senate, after a needlessly prolonged process, was finally dancing to the tune of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), as regards the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. A few days before that day, I told friends that this Act would come through but not without Buhari— or whoever was running the country— getting what he wanted. Alas, the Senate, that’s supposedly the last hope of the masses, elected to check and balance any unruly executive power; the eyes of the people and the citizens’ mouthpiece, has abandoned their primary duty to become another extension of the executive. Let’s call a spade a spade; this current National Assembly is a rubber stamp and one of the most expensive in the world!https://punchng.com/nigerian-senate-most-expensive-rubber-stamp/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1642725161 12 Likes 2 Shares

This is a video released by the bandits asking returning students kidnapped on Kebbi high way to strip naked. They will rape those females blue black, infect them with infections & diseases and still collect ransom. This senate that was supposed to give Buhari altimatum have denied the people. They are not there for the people that elected them into office at all, they are there for their stomach. E nogo better for any Nigerian who will vote in 2023 because of bribe. Those of you supporting this evil government. Imagine for a second that one of these girls is your daughter or your sister. Just picture her in that video for a second. The other one is that of a married Hajiya narrating how she was kidnapped and raped multiple times by the so called bandits/terrorists(in her words). Many more are being perpetrated daily off camera 9 Likes

Majority of the senators in this 9th senate were selected and have no real voters support. They know the consequences of going against their various godfathers. 3 Likes |

Is it not the same senate President, Tinubu was campaigning for against Saraki then?. Even his wife fought war of words in senate out of frustration. Is it not same group of people Osinbajo was with when Saraki took over in senate?. Well I pity all especially Afunjaaaa cos they were licking their vomits. Being that majority of Afunjaaaa were public and civil servants, I hit them hard. We warned Afunjaaaa but they refused. We are now warning again. Worst senate ever 7 Likes |

The Nigerian Senators aren't our legislators but the President's Secretaries. All they do is to take minute of the President's meetings and decisions and make them official (a law). 4 Likes |

They wanted a 'cooperating' not a 'confrontational' legislature. And foolish citizens bandied around. Is Nigeria better today with rubber 'stamppers'?? Is a Legislature that is now an appendage of the Executive worthwhile. We can see the product of authoritarianism. One man's ideas, one man's vision, one man's ways is highly risky in a divergent nation such as ours. We need people to REPRESENT us and hold to account the leadership of this country. To SEE, HEAR and PROJECT our OWN views and aspirations from time to time. The National Assembly is our only say in this democracy. The Executive is elected every 4 years TO DO. But the Legislature is for the day to day fine tuning of the ways of the Executive. Nigerians need to get enlightened. Citizens of other nations CONTROL their leaders and not just vote and go to sleep. They employ a driver and TELL the driver WHERE TO GO. Ignorant, indolent Nigerians employ drivers, sit back and so are always taken for a ride. This present Legislature is for all intents and purposes completely useless to us. 4 Likes |

Nauttyprof: Indeed. So they should change their nomenclature from Representatives to Presidential Aides and Assistants. And the so called Senate leader should drop the tag President as he is not Presidential in any way. A President has authority and is independently minded and is not subservient. The Senate is supposed to be his fiefdom and he has the power to challenge the Executive on our behalf and for our good. 3 Likes |
