We are watching a house slip into the deep.

We watch as they kidnap the nation.

They recess when there are burning national issues.

They resume to crack jokes about uniforms and gowns.

Gowns they dont deserve and uniforms they no nothing about.

There is no urgency in their dictionary.

The hungry may die they dont care.

The economy may run into coma its none of their business.

They can buy a second hand car for 1 million dollars.

Just when so many communities are left in the dark

And a premier university has no light or water for students to bath.

They can hold the executive budget to ransom asking for endless explanations.

But their budget no one dares to ask for.

Any member who questions their ways is labelled an enemy of all!

Before you say jack, that 'enemy' is thrown out.

If you have a lifetime to waste join them.

You will smile with loads of money but end with an unproductive journey.

This is what it all seems to have boiled down into.

Clownish behaviour yet rosy, extremely rosy bank accounts

Padding here padding there.

Where are you headed, o nation?

May God save Nigerian from Nigerians.

TheFreeOne:
Sagay is not helping this government at all with his volatile utterances.

He's part of those praise singers Sanusi accused of being Buhari undoing.

So the Senate are helping when they are trying to hold the president to ransom?

They are calling for serious trouble.. Can they try that with OBJ?

TippyTop:
Sagay has reduced himself to the likes of charge and bail lawyer, he should be treated like one.

Same way our Senators has reduce themselves to some garage tout.

You dey mind the yeye people.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:


Sagay won't even honor those yeye set of people... hahah

madridguy:
Anyhow, I'm with Sai Baba till final whistle.

We know your likes the usual BMC

As in?

Buharimustgo:


We know your likes the usual BMC

Tundellinium:
The continuous clash between the Legislators and Executives, is it a progression or regression in the Democracy of Nigeria? Any political analyst in house?

None of the above because both are only protecting their individual interest and not the interest of the masses.

mona1ene:

e go learn new thing

How?

cktheluckyman:
Prof Sagay is surely going down

LOL same way Hameed Ali and SGF go down hahahaha? keep fooling yourself..

cktheluckyman:
Prof Sagay is surely going down

If you say that he goes down on his wife, I will say that you may be right. But, if you say that he is going down the pit, then you are far from right.

mona1ene:

e go learn new thing

Same way Hameed Ali and SGF learn new thing? Even Magu is still the EFCC boss hahah.

Senate is not house of ridicule as Sagay won't even honor the useless invitation..

enigma2007:


He is not bound to honor the invitation... Senate should use their time constructively to make laws that will help the people they are representing...

Moreover, the Nigerian constitution needs lot of work and i think they should focus on that

He must honor the invitation or face arrest

luvinhubby:
Good for him, the man carry Buhari matter for him head.

The senate is an institution/arm of govt that deserves the respect of all.

hahaha you mean that useless house of Senate? hahah Sagay won't honor the invitation..

Buhari whom they label a dictator is showing civility.

A house full of so called democrats is daily showing tyranny.

Paradox in Africa.

Qmerit:
What some people don't know is that SURE we have separation of powers in executive, Judiciary and legislature. The same way you criticise the executives and expect it to take it by force whether you are right or not is same way legislature should bear and take it by force from people when the legislators re criticised. You can't be happy criticising only executive and want to enjoy freedom from being criticised... the senate should wake up to know that the era of don't talk to the senate whether good or bad has long past..... So they should come to NL and beginning to invite majority of us who criticise them on a daily basis.... Rogues in Agbada... who don't know party differences in sharing formula. Budget that would ve direct/indiret impart to the common man/woman in the streets are still not pass since NOV..2016.. what a shame...

Unfortunately Nairalanders are private citizens, not public officials handling important posts.

AceSkillz01:

Arrest who? On what ground?

Just like the way they arrested Diezani & NOI when they ignored them?

samsard:
Unfortunately Nairalanders are private citizens, not public officials handling important posts.

and what post is he occupying to warrant standing in front of the senators?

All a see everywhere is silly bias against the Senate.

Even when the presidency is plane stupid, many still blame the legislature. I've told them, you are not helping buhari's government by demonizing the legislature.

The fools have raised buhari to high heavens. That he can deal with anyone who does not agree or align with him. I laugh at their foolishness.

We really have to be careful. The legislature have the capacity to do and undo, they can force buhari out of office or keep him in war mode all through without any achievement.

They can politically frustrate all coercive instruments of the Executive like Efcc etc.

Again, we have to be careful. If you destroy the legislature because you love the buhari led executive. (although I still can't see what they are doing) Tomorrow, you'll have an executive you don't like, but pray you have a worthy legislature too.

We should stop this silly attacks on the legislature, while we ignore the criminality in the executive

Pieromania:
These SINators are really becoming too arrogant these days,so anybody that expresses his right of freedom of speech is summoned to appear b4 them,can u imagine!
U see why i said Nigeria isn't too ripe for absolute democracy,cos giving these ppl right to act without executive interference will make them misbehave.I think they need Jonathan kind of treatment by locking pro saraki group out of the chamber and perfect his impeachment b4 he finds his way to the chamber and allow him go to court.This is the PMB they are calling tyrant,cn they try these nonsense with evn uncle clueless,nt to talk of Obj
Buhari really needs to bring out his other side,or else this guys are out to ground his government

ur family elders are clueless

At this rate, the Senate will soon begin to invite Nigerians on Nairaland and Facebook for making disparaging comments against them.

That is what the Nigerian senate has been reduced to.

Has Saraki's senate even made any legislation this year beyond inviting this and inviting that?

Plus how come House of Representatives has a relatively cordial relationship with the Presidency while the Senate is ever ready to pick a fight with same at every turn of the way?

Really weird.

KingsJohnson:


Other side ni, Back ass kor...... Where you in China when ur Father Buhari was using DSS to arrest anyone that says anytin even against his ancestors??

he needs to repeat it again,bt this time it wil be SINator Olebukola Saratif

The role occupied by Professor Itse Sagay is not formally recognised by the constitution. He is at best a member of the President's "kitchen cabinet" who was appointed without any recourse to the legislature.

I doubt very much that the Senate has any legal right to invite him over a statement he can easily argue that he made in his personal capacity as a Nigerian citizen.

Like I said during the Hamidu Alli debacle, the Nigerian senate needs to pick its fight carefully. There is no need issuing ineffectual and pointless decrees and summons when it will only end up making itself look irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Itse Sagay might be a lot of things but one thing he has going for him is a deep knowledge of the Nigerian constitution both as a legal practitioner and a leading academic in that field. I can almost bet that he will be releasing a statement before the end of today trashing the senate's summon and upbraiding the hell out of them.

OAUTemitayo:
I think this senators are mad.
Inviting Itse Sagay for making his opinion known is nonsense.

His Opinion is an affront to the highest legislative institution in the land.

And the fact that he works for the executive arm is more reason why he should be invited.

Sagay is a professor of Law for God's sake. He understands the role of the legislature as a check to executive excesses.

He should've advised the presidency to withdraw Magu's name.

No matter how corrupt the Senate is.. they're the representative of the Nigerian People and the institution must be respected

Rogues n crooks in agbada!

The day Nigerians will stop selling their votes or PVCs for politicians over peanuts at the polling units or during campaigns, also make it single tenure of four years for all of these polilooters. That would be great times to have real democracy.

We need to educate ourselves from being used by Nigeria politicians during elections.

INEC and security personnel need serious educations.

Sai Baba has the support of the people on the streets!

According to the Senate, Itse Sagay "doesn't thrive in peace", and the truth is that the man has been rather confrontational or antagonistic in his utterances concerning the relationship between the executive and the legislature on some recent issues. This is not his first time.

The Presidency should put its house in order and not beating about the bush lyk a pregnant cow

It's like say na season of invitation by senate we dey soo.
Abeg, make i come do make dem invite me........
By d way wetin i fit do now? okay...... make i go graffiti saraki name for Airport gate
shey dat wan fit make invite me............

nobsalis:
Wonders why APC controls senate is acting like an opposite to BUHARI's Government....:

well i don't blame Saraki and Co, i blame Buhari for saying he is ready to work with anybody, he asked for it and now he is getting it. If Buhari likes he should keep acting like nothing is happening until he wakes up one day and hear he himself has been impeached by d senate,...: Afterall dis is exactly d same "i don't care feeling" he exhibited before IBB overthrew his Government in d 80s.

Buhari,the cow is too dull for my liking. He is brainless and clueless. How do you explain the way the APC controlled senate is stagnating him. This was what Tinubu saw but as politically naive as he was he could not see it. The maluu said he could work with anybody. The fool is working with Saraki and co now. By the time the kleptomaniac (Sakaki) is through foolish him bubu will be in sixes and sevens. Out of envy he wanted to demystify Tinubu not knowing that what goes around comes around. Bubu, you have seen yourself now with saraki and co rejecting your bills and nominees. Saraki has become a fish bone in your throat that can not neither be swallowed nor regurgitated. You had opportunity to deal with Fayose with the last state assembly members, you were clueless and he is flooring you here and there now. You had opportunity to devour Dino you kept quiet and the ABU VC was manipulated and the fool danced to Dino's music. Your enemies are fighting you back and only God knows if you will su
