See as he face worwor

are you an ugly illiterate? He told them what they don't know and you're saying ego.

And the senate can impeach the president rem that

If they can get 2/3 of the required votes.

Remember that most of them are criminals with many pending cases.. The executive will simply expedite actions and they all dont have immunity against arrest and prosecution.

They will not have the yansh to sit in one place to impeach someone by the time the executive finish with them. They are lucky they are not dealing with that old tout called OBJ..

(2) A summons or warrant issued under this section may be served or executed by any member of the Nigeria Police Force or by any person authorised in that behalf by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may require

insubordination will crush this government

imagine ordinary office clerk saying board of directors can not summon him

let's attack the individual and respect the institution

Your name is a mistake, you ought to be named PaulDumbo! Ignorant church rat! You lots live in abject poverty yet you refuse to be wise...may the Senators and the enemies of Nigeria succeed in killing you and all your kinds!

The executive can cripple d senate by also refusing 2 release funds 4 d running of d senate.All dia salaries nd allowances b put on hold immediately.

This is an interesting time in Nigeria's democracy. What becomes of Nigeria, is solely dependent on the actions and in-actions of Nigeria's modern day Dictator, who I believed has fueled the amber of discord against the Legislative Arm of Government within his core Northern caucus aka cabal and the goings-on in their nocturnal meetings.

Is there any Nigerian by virtue of his position relative to his appointment by any of our Presidents, who has the effrontery to call The Senate, Childish and other derogatory names ?

I do not bother about the characters in the Senate, what bothers me is that each of those Senators, no matter how questionable their elections were, represent a people of each Constituency in this country. When one has so much confidence and power, because they 'know' this Buhari of a guy, and gather so much confidence to defy the orders of the Senate and even castigate that Upper Chamber, it makes me ponder if we are truly a democracy.

I think, we all need to put our bias aside and view this on a national periscope devoid of coloration of ethnicity, party-lines and religion.

We are bleeped, if we dont fix this growing impasse. Truth is, APC is gradually destroying our democratic institutions. No country has ever fought corruption successfully by personalizing democratic institutions.

We must learn to respect the Senate President and other Senators, not because of their personalities, but because of the Position they occupy.

We all know that Dino is more educated than Buhari, we also know that Bukola is more educated than Buhari, so there is a limit to what Buhari can achieve with his personal aggrandizement. Buhari has to be taught, to call his caucus to order. If their intention is to build Nigeria, then all Nigerians, including their personal enemies must be involved in nation building.

If this does not happen, I will personal step into the turf come 2019, and life will never be the same again.

kudos to u prof sagay tell them th reality since this bunch of chair warmers are in anarchy nd stupor they are jst summoning everybody dat say no to their corrupted attitude, they lacked direction das why they 'r in state of disorderliness.So let them keep barking nd plsssssss dont go

Good 4 them ....ganagaaaaaan

Buhari should arrest just one senator now and see how easy it is to get 2/3 of the Senate. The Senate right now are very pissed with him

pauljumbo:


that does not mean he will insults an arm of government

hello,you should seek knowledge from people before writing ,everybody have a right of opinion which is back up by law .we all have a fundamental right to speak.

Guyman02:


He is an appointee of Mr President and not above the Senate

Did his appointment pass through the senate for confirmation ? It is not every Presidential appointee that the senate can summon unless he just wish to go their to insult them more.

cktheluckyman:

The professor was biting more than he can chew saying Magu can continue to act indefinitely and the Senate is dubious. He would soon find out how powerful the Senate is

Troll what can they do? Lol...maybe they il order the police or Army to arrest him.

Nooooooooo NASS....



CHANGE MUST BEGIN WITH THE NASS

Reptyle:
Below was my comment on an earlier thread on this same matter. It is a shame that the Nigerian Senate has allowed itself to be reduced to this crass level.


[b]"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."[/b]

You are very correct..... clearly stated in Section 88-89

Wow, comedy in Nigeria is really great. We have moved from GEJ is corrupt and PDP bla bla bla now, those former PDPs in the senate are entertaining Nigerias.
We go soon see the next move way senate go take.
This PACAC sef wetin be their use since inauguration.

you dont allow your kids to insult an old man because the man is useless

this government is setting a bad precedence where any government appointee will be rude to the legislature

remember when you allow your kids to insult elders they will end up insulting you

there are better ways to handle the senate

Okay oya ask the professor of law to confirm the new REC and ministerial nominees. The Senate will grind the machinery of government until the president will have no other choice but to sack them to appease the Senate

Empty skull only the non-career nominees have to be confirmed, the career ones can serve in acting capacity forever.

To interact with me, on my level, please learn to spell. But if you already can spell, then be patient enough to type correct spellings. Those who type short-hands on this forum, are those thwarts who are impatient enough to even reason correctly. You are clearly not emotionally intelligent to chat with my dog.

Oga what the man is telling them is pure truth

So sad to know that even the law makers don't know the laws they made. A lawyer is now advising them to meet their lawyers for more explanation. I give up!!!

ExInferis:


The day i knew PMB was not serious was the day he allowed saraki and that crook in HOR to take over such paramount institutions.

If it was OBJ he would've fought tooth and nail to get those scoundrels out, even if it means unleashing the military

Since Nigeria started this democratic dispensation in 1999, only Obasanjo has been able to really stamp his foot that he's the boss even though he can over do it sometimes

The others after him have all been a pun in the hand of the NASS

1freshdude:

Buhari will have to either fire him or forget about having new ministers or appointees.Except he likes Sagay and magu much more than all the future appointment he wants to make,he can forget about any new appointment

You are a member of a Committee on behalf of the FG,so forget all this your legal abracadabra.
Provided you are been paid from tax payers' money,go and answer them,say your mouth dey run like tap since.

Unfortunately I don't see this changing anytime soon, these are the kinds of irrelevant things they will keep chasing after until the final whistle is blown.

No policies
No direction
No investments
No long term plans or implementation
No strategy

How on earth will the country move forward?
Nigerians are in for it, anyway what's my own there.

The most painful part is that all the useless senators + federal government + state government + federal executive members + state governors & their executive team + head of different agencies both state & federal are all drawing allowances, feeding fat while the impoverish masses are crying daily and yet no response, l pity family members l have in Nigeria, l saw all this before l ran away years ago from the country and up-till date the news l read of happenings in Nigeria is shocking
