https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ykAN0rxSRY “Ayes and nays do not give us a clear picture of the position and the moral authority of individual senators or members of the House,” the 77-year-old Nigeria’s former Agriculture Minister Audu Ogbeh said hours after the Senate and the House of Representatives threw their weights behind the presidential proclamation. “Nobody should hide under a shadow – if you want a vote, say so; if you don’t want it, say so but this ayes and nays is a camouflage, it doesn’t work.” Referencing his time as the deputy speaker of the House of Assembly in Benue State from 1979 to 1982, Ogbeh said individual voting was adopted for crucial bills and motions. Ogbeh, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party between 2001 and 2005, said for future occasions, the lawmakers should explore technological tools and vote individually. |

It's when a system doesn't favor them that they will know the system is bad. When it favours them, they say victory for democracy. Hypocrite |
