The President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmed Lawan, has said that the National Assembly would accept “rubber stamp” label if it would guarantee good governance for Nigerians.
“If the price to pay is the names that we get, then let it be the price, because we believe that Nigerians deserve better service, better Infrastructure development in the country and it is difficult if not impossible in this country or indeed in any democracy without understanding and harmony in the way and and manner the two arms of government work.”
The President’s assertion may not be unconnected with the withdrawal of the controversial National Water Bill in the House of Representatives last week. He added that the accelerated process of the 2020 budget and its review in the response to the coronavirus pandemic, the timely confirmation of his nominees and passage of critical legislations by the National Assembly were all testaments to the willingness and commitment of the legislative arm to play its part towards delivering effective services to Nigerians.
When compared btw Lawan led Senate & Saraki, it’s obvious tht a little essence of democracy was felt by Nigns in Saraki’s led Senate. The engagement btw the legislature & the executive then had a reasonable check & balance of powers. What exist now is tyranny under an emperor.
Mediocre 🙄
it doesn't guarantee good governance sir, you are to checkmate the executive from sinking this nation into shit, now we are in shit☹️
And can all testify to the very impressive good governance we are getting. Just say you are there to chop your own
You are rubber stamp assembly and No, it will not guarantee any good governance for our nation.
This is not news. There is no sane Nigerian that doesn't know this fact. Very disgusting and shameful 9th Senate!! No good governance can come out of it.
Whether you accept or reject, it guarantees nothing remotely resembling good governance.
So shameless
Thank God you told Nigerians the type of legislature we have in the country
Finally you accept that your chamber is rubber stamp
