I still don't understand why people brazenly failed to admit that the illegal action of suspending a Senator representing his constituent for 6 months itself is provocative. The Senate President should apologize for causing the country this embarrassment and promise to henceforth act legally and morally on this case of suspension.He wants his own constituents represented but don't see anything wrong in denying other people's constituents of representation.

Wealthandjobs:

I don't think so sir. No Senator has the right to suspend another Senator. The only authority to suspend a Senator is the constituents.This suspension is an aberration in democracy and it is the hangover of military mentality. It's illegal and immoral. Why on earth should Ilorin be represented and Delta central denied of representation?Is it the constituent that erred even if an error is committed?This nonsense has to stop and the courts should sanction any defaulting legislator and should be prosecuted after the expiration of his/her tenure. Their suspension is useless now because they can't physically bundle the Senator out of the Parliament.
Buhari doesn't have their time and he is not ready to share money so it's in their court now. The case of Jibrin is clear,he was part of those who padded the budget illegally,he doesn't have clean hands so he lost the moral authority.

Ebullience:
The Chairman of Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has blamed Senate President Bukola Saraki for the invasion of the senate by suspected thugs on Wednesday.

Sagay explained that Saraki and his minions in the senate had been provoking people to take the law into their own hands.


The Senior Advocate said this while speaking to Punch.

He said, “This Senate led by Bukola Saraki has been provoking Nigerians for a long time. What happened today (Wednesday) was illegal; there is no doubt about that. But the provocation that this particular Senate has been inflicting on Nigerians has reached a boiling point.

“You cannot be enjoying the huge and enormous resources of the people, living in luxury and at the same time refusing to do your job, making trouble with the executive at the slightest opportunity, bringing the government to a standstill and then turning members of the Senate into puns who can be pushed here and there.

“I think Saraki has gone too far. While what happened today is illegal, I have no doubt in my mind that he and the group that surround him provoked it. Ultimately, I hold Saraki responsible for what happened today.”

DAILY POST reports that thugs suspected to be loyal to the suspended Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial district, Ovie Omo-Agege had invaded the red chambers and forcefully took away the mace.

They broke into the chambers when plenary was going on, creating serious confusion and tension.

Few hours later, Sen. Omo-Agege was arrested in connection to the incident but was later released, after which he denied claims that he staged the incident.

The House of Assembly is an independent arm of the government just like the Judiciary and the Executive. They have internal mechanisms in resolving their issues, the suspended senator accused the red chamber wrongly and was penalized just like the house of Representatives suspended the member from Kano who raised the alarm on budget padding,the NJC retiring some of the judges accused of corruption.

The Executive in collaboration with some of this SANs (STUPID ADVOCATES OF NIGERIA) wants to destroy Democracy by intimating the other arms of govt that should be independent.

PercyK:
you are right. what do you have to say this. omo-agege was part of the committee on ethics that suspended senator Ali ndume. Can I have your opinion on what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

you are irredeemable

TheUpsetGirl1:



the judiciary have no rights whatsoever to interfere in the matters of the legislature.. the legislative arm make the rules, the judiciary only interprets.
what is happening in the USA presently shouldn't be allowed to happen here, because courts have put almost governments policies in the US on stagnation.

courts have no right to interfere with the national assembly.
they can even reduce the powers of the judiciary

JUHABACH:


bruh, if the national assembly or the presidency do anything that can be considered unconstitutional, the judiciary has to interfere to set things straight.

Thanks for concurring. On Can I have your opinion on what is good for the goose is good for the gander
I can't agree less and to resolve this,they must have a way to insulate the constituents from the punishment arising from personal faults of their representatives. For example,the case of the legislators suspended so far was not arising from their direct responsibilities to their constituency. How does election reordering benefit the people of Delta Central? So it's the offending legislator that should be punished,maybe by loss of personal allowance or earn demerits that will earn him personal discomfort
