9th Assembly: Ndume Predicts Danger, Apologizes To Dino Melaye by chisomdoris(op): 6:05pm On Jun 06, 2019
An aspirant for the President of the Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has warned that the independence of the Ninth National Assembly may be under threat.

He called on lawmakers to work to protect its independence to avoid turbulent sessions.

Ndume also singled out Senator Dino Melaye and apologised to him “if I offended you during my stay in the Eight Senate.”

Ndume, representing Borno South in the upper legislative chamber, noted that the only thing every parliament has going for it is its independence which it must guard zealously.

The lawmaker said this while contributing to the valedictory session to mark the end of legislative business for the Eight Senate on Thursday.

The Borno born politician said that the difference between democracy and military government is the independence of parliament.

Ndume said, “We had loads of disagreements. I respect your resilience and your ability to stand for what you believe in. We started together and we were doing fine. What happened was part of the learning process.

“My concern is the independence of this arm of government. That is not to say we must not work with the other side (Presidency).

“I see a dangerous thing coming. The only thing that makes democracy different from military rule is the Parliament. We need to ensure the independence of the Parliament.

“If we take away the Parliament, what we have is not democracy. I am one of those that were controversial in the last four years. Within the process, we may have offended one another. I take nothing personal.

“This institution is very important. Let us protect the sanctity of the parliament. This is the Nigerian Senate. There is no APC or PDP Senate. This is the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We will continue to support the other side but we must work at all times to protect the sanctity of the institution of the parliament. We must continue to enhance the sanctity of the Senate at all times.”

Sharp man already lobbying for PDP votes through Dino.

Ahmed Lawan will be Senate President in Potiskum and not Nigeria.

Anyone but Lawan and the fraud Gbaja. The independence of the Legislature must be safeguarded.

Let's have Lawan as SP

And see how Zimbabwe we use "at least we better Nigerians"

A rubber stamp senate controlled by a senile, fascist, ethnic bigot presidency

A perfect recipe for Venezuela-esque economy loading

why did you not say all these when you had your mouth in bubu krokro infested bumbum?
it is too late Ndume as pdp senators will not vote for you and if you try nonsense, the tyrant will give you the dasuki treatment
Re: 9th Assembly: Ndume Predicts Danger, Apologizes To Dino Melaye by festacman(m):
It is difficult to fathom why Sen. Ali Ndume is pulling down the house and eating his vomit just to get Senate Presidency. Unfortunately, he is driven by a sense of revenge to get back at Sen. Lawan for accepting the post of Majority leader when he was suspended by Sen Saraki. Even if he ends up being elected, he is damn too arrogant and stubborn to survive for long as first among equals unlike Sen. Saraki he fought and distracted.

Why d Presidency thinks a Senate controlled by dem is healthy for dis country is baffling... Why would dey b keen on controlling d Senate if dey aren't desperate to have things always go their way?

shocked

The forum has been taken over by Sex position cartels, Recharge card,and Betnaija Prophets. I find it hard to understand the level of the forum's designers and coders. Why they esigned their fate to manually or semi remove compromised accounts remains a mystery. I have seen more nudity on this forum's comments than a gossip site.

Improve the fonts and redesign the pages. Allow emojis and color up the appearance. Why it constantly look like a Nigeria government website remains shocking to me.

It will shock you the level of code contribution on this platform if they open sourced their front end codes for inputs.

What an emotional valedictory. That's what life should all be about, we agree to disagree. The encomium by fellow senators across party divide to Senator Saraki showed he was a true leader. Some said though they weren't his fan but he showed true leadership.

Those fronting for him are just been blind to the truth. With all his legislative experience, I can bet you Sen. Lawan constituency have nothing to show for such a long serving legislature. Ask people those from his constituency if you know any. Patiently waiting for Tuesday in house election.
