Our attention has been drawn to a statement issued by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami to order for diligently doing his job.
We read with utmost shock and disgust the statement emanating from Senator Abudullahi as the Senate official reaction to news of arraignment of some persons over an alleged forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Rules.

We observed that instead of addressing some fundamental questions about the legality of the actions of certain individuals, the Senate official reaction embarked on name calling and its usual smear campaign.

We thought that, the Senate official reaction would have found it convinient to answer the following questions in their statement.

1. Who authorised the promulgation of the Senate Standing Order 2015?

Your question has no basis coz any matter tht happens in the NASS is purely a matter for the legislators & has notn to do with the executive arm of govt.
The executive arm of govt should stay clear of matters tht has to do with the legislators & malami has a very big question to answer in the house for getting himself involved in interfering in a matter tht has notn to do with his area of jurisdiction.

You said every matter that happens in the National Assembly is purely a legislative matter, so even if the lawmakers should kill anybody in NASS, the executive should stay off?

You guys often quote Separation of Powers abridge. The main essence of Separation of Powers by a French Jurist was to ensure that no organ of goverment wields absolute power. Hence, there is the need for check and balances to avoid pigeonholed terms of power corrupt, absolute power corrupt and absolutely.

That the executive does not interfare with the affairs of the lawmakers does not mean it should remain indifference when the law of the nation which is the organic substance that holds us together as a nation is been breached by its so-called custodians!

The same constitution that empowers the legislatures to make law also empowers the executives to implement it. Hence, the Act of Parliment cannot supersede the Constitution. Section 3 of the 1999 Constitution as amended stated that any law that contradicts the constitution is null and void. So, your arguement does not hold water.

Saraki and Ekweremadu should go and face their case and leave Malami alone

There is difference between reading & understanding.
The executive have no business in the NASS when it comes to electing principal officers in the NASS.
However if the legislative chambers want to elect their officers it is strictly their business & not the business of the executive,tht is why all the organs of govt are independent of themselves.
Moreover,the NASS has their standing rules which they operate with .

While knowledge is different from common sense, Saraki and Ekweremadu should go and defend themselves and stop the hoopla
