Members of the National Assembly have been called upon to re-prioritize their engagements and face the rigour of making quality legislation that assuages the thirst of Nigerians for good governance.
This urgent advice was given by Congress for National Stability, CONSTAB, a good governance advocacy group against the backdrop of frequent sack calls on the executive arm by the National Assembly.
The group noted that they were flustered if not embarrassed, that in the last six months, NASS have called on the executive arm to sack the  CBN governor, the SEC DG, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, the DG of BPE, Heads of Security Agencies, Ministers of Aviation,   Information,  and Petroleum, the PPMC boss for  orchestrated fuel scarcity in Abuja, and even threatened to impeach the president for good measure.
“Within this corresponding time frame, members of our august law making body have not initiated, passed, or about to pass any law that have transformational capacity to lighten the yoke of the people.
“Given that the integrity of lawmakers lie in the quality of their laws not opportunistic resolutions, we call on our lawmakers to re-kit their tools and make haste to generate bills that will strengthen our anti-corruption crusade, invigorate our agriculture, compel maintenance of our highways, make ordinary clean drinking water available, boost security, rather than this frequent sack prescriptions on the executive branch.
“As Nigerians who relish the special tag of being called elected representatives of the people, and whose recall process is virtually impossible despite the hunger and anger of most Nigerians to do just that, they should stop this indulgence and reveling in sack overdose to the detriment of vibrant debates and legislation.
“If sackings are the only antidote they know of, then they should open up the National Assembly for a thorough sweep and very necessary sacks. This proper conduct of removing the specks in their own eyes will help to douse the common suspicion that their sack calls are carefully targeted blackmails to induce their lobby,” the group said.
The group’s position was made known by their president, Mr. Kingsley J.C. Ugwu, who also noted that they were not averse to incompetent  personnel  of government being given the boot, but respect  must be given to processes and procedure so that condemnations should not be served where commendation is more appropriate.
