Abuja – The Deputy Leader of the Senate, Sen. Bala Ibn-Na’Allah says only a letter from the President of the country can be read on the floor of the Senate or the House of Representatives. Na’Allah told newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday that it was the reason the purported letter written by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to the National Assembly was not read. According to him, it is for the same reason that the letter will not be read in the National Assembly.

Photo by Abayomi Adeshida “A lot of people do not understand; as a member of the National Assembly, the moment you step into the National Assembly, you either take the Bible or the Quran; and then you subscribe to the oath of allegiance and then take your oath of office. “The oath of office says that you will uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Law and then the Rules of the Senate. “Outside these three documents, (a) senator does not have any leverage to do anything; there is no other document outside these three. “And then if you carefully look at the rules of the Senate, the only letters that can be read on the floor of the House should a letter from Mr President. “And that is the convention not only in Nigeria, but in all other parliaments all over the world.“ He stressed the need for Nigerians to understand the workings of democracy before making attributions unknown in democratic circles. Na’Allah, however, said that the party could influence its members in the National Assembly and at the state level through the various caucuses, but not by imposition. `I have not seen any issue here; it is just that people are trying to overheat the polity without knowing what the process is all about.“ - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/only-mr-presidents-letter-not-partys-can-be-read-in-nass-naallah/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook#sthash.iv3vpxVg.dpuf Check my signature too.

the truth is that apc groups(acn,anpp,cpc,semi apga etc) are used to regional politics where things are done according to one man dictates so its high time they realised they are at federal level where only the constitution is used.it will take time but they have to learn fast and format their old ways. 2 Likes |

I noticed that some members of the
house have no knowledge of the law,
rules and standing order of the
National assembly,
they should kindly
go and learn them because ignorance
can never be an excuse here.
many of the senators are ignorantly heating
up the polity under the guise of
political party, are those principal
officers not a member of the same
party? why given preferences to
some people,
I suggest every party must have an agenda or ideology as
such all member must have a
guideline
to that effect. 2 Likes |

Why did APC allow them to contest for senate if they are not good enough to hold leadership positions in the house. Are they no longer progressive  |

likata:God will bless your hustle .... See sense abeg .... Only one man who think he has all power is the problem of APC. I hope they resolve this imbroglio as earlier as possible. They should all compromise and work together. They have many other things to achieve together. |
