Former Senator, Bola Tinubu wants the Senate Scrapped

The former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu has called for the scrapping of the upper arm of  legislature, the Senate. He said this yesterday at the 2012 Annual Conference and Awards ceremony organised by Leadership Newspapers.

According to the former Senator, the House of Representatives is better placed at representing the people since its members are closer to the grass roots.

He also added that the scrapping of the Senate would go a great deal in addressing the nation’s huge cost of governance and recurrent expenditure.

“We have kept complaining about the cost of governance and the recurrent expenditure, but we have never examined the structural problem of even the constitution that we are operating.

“Why do we need two Houses of the National Assembly,  whereas  the House of Representatives representing the smaller constituencies is enough in the same number of population.

“Why not get rid of the Senate for a slim and better legislative activity? Let us start examining that,” Channels TV  quoted him as saying.

This was before he sent his wife Oluremi to the Senate right?

As soon as his wife became a member of NASS, he not only want Senate he wants a Tinubu House of Lords.

So he sent Remi to the Senate and also wanted the Senate scrapped?

Why did he send his wife there if the Senate is irrelevant and a waste?

Just to waste money abi?

Stop assuming he sent his wife to the senate, she's old enough to make decisions for herself.

dukie25:
Why then did he send his wife there if the Senate is irrelevant and a waste?

As of today, the senate is not irrelevant whether Oluremi is there or not.



The aim of your post was to ridicule Tinubu but you weren't smart enough to think through your post. Tinubu made the call to scrap the Senate even though his wife is a sitting senator.

If he didn't send his wife who did then? He didn't send his son in-law to state House of Assembly or house of Representative as well, No?

Haterz don't use their brains.
His wife became a senator in 2011 and Tinubu called for the scrapping in 2012.

If the Senate was irrelevant why did his wife contest to be a senator?

Tinubu is right.the oil era has come to end and we cannot continue to waste 25% of our revenue on servicing nnpc, cbn and the senate.one has to go and it is obviously the senate since it has turned to a place that some old men just come sit for allowance before reaching their final destination

You have to prove that he sent them because last i checked, they(his wife and son in-law) are both adults capable of making decisions for themselves.

Your parents might have chosen a career path for you and that's okay but that doesn't mean everyone's path was chosen by someone else.

So if your wife becomes the governor of your state, it means you sent her there?
Or do you mean Mrs Oluremi Tinubu don't have dreams of her own?

Recieve God healing..

You are wasting your time with that dunce, most of them are little kids awaiting Waec results, they are just here to troll and post jargons. I ignore most of them now.
