Armstrong34: Thank you. If i may come in here. Everything @Armstrong23 said is the truth and nothing but the truth. They've had their confidence boosted on discovering the fact that the president is spineless. Am sorry to say so of him but i haven't a milder way to do it. Buhari lacks the guts and courage to handle present-day nigeria. It reminded me of the rumours that made the rounds after the coup that ousted him in 1985. The rumour mill had it that security reports duly informed him of IBB's plan to overthrow him but rather than take necessary action as a military man, he simply invited his imminent nemesis and asked him why he wanted to overthrow him then let him off ! Am yoruba and i hate OBJ like no man business, but at times like this, one cannot but miss him. You have to give honour to whoever it is due. Were Obj to be the president, am sure Saraki, Dogara and some others would be cooling theit heels behind bars by now. Go back and study the way he handled the senates during his tenures as toys and went scot-free. Am afraid Buhari is too much of a weakling. |

deomello:Its still an ongoing debate. I recommend you to the Court of Appeal decision in Senate vs. Tony Momoh. That will determine whether Mr. Sagay can be summoned at all, and on what ground, when you determine what Mr. Momoh said then, in his right and on the national issue at hand then and what Mr. Sagay said now. Everybody is quoting constitution, whereas the portion has been interpreted and expanded. 1 Like |

How many of these senators are lawyers yet called themselves LAWMAKERS? Bunch of Third class graduates summoning a Professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria? He will finish them |
Re: You Have No Power To Summon Me, Sagay Tells Senate by deomello: 9:04pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
ehissi: 1. Mr Sagay is not a member of the senate like Ndume and so can never be touched or punished by the Nigeria senate like they did to Ndume 2. Mr Sagay functions under the executive arm of government and not the legislature. Only the executive can punish people hired by the executive so your going by your comment, you don't know anything about the Nigerian constitution and the 3 arms of government and separation of powers. Nigeria's problems goes beyond ignorant and illiterate senators because the poor, ill informed and ignorant population spells doom for Nigeria. Do they still teach social studies and civic education in Nigeria. |

I believe Senate President Olubukola Saraki is a questionable character judging by the many cases he has pending in court. If, and only if, he is a questionable character, then it is OK to assume that the majority of the members of the Senate are questionable characters. However, they can prove me wrong by impeaching the Senate president. |

Armstrong34: That may well be so and that would be unfortunate. Perhaps they have something incriminating on him. I can't understand his act of timidity. |
Re: You Have No Power To Summon Me, Sagay Tells Senate by sshalom(m): 9:31pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
While I don't like the way Prof Sagay suddenly turned himself into this Government's mouthpiece by defending their actions and inactions; I am tired of a Senate who is busy inviting everyone when the budget of 2017 has not been sorted out. Does it mean our Senate will invite anyone that says anything that they do not agree with or that they feel impacts negatively on their character? If that were to be the case; we should all give up on the National Assembly! |

Nigeria as a system is chronically ill. Everything is messed up. There is no a clear cut direction. Vested interests are thriving. Real business of governance is taken for granted. Insincerity prevails |
