Sowore & TakeItBack Movement’s Position on the Senate

It has come to our notice that a malicious spin on comments made at a townhall meeting has been making the rounds.

Ibrahim Shuaibu of THISDAYLIVE claims that the presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, has pledged to scrap the Senate once elected as president of Nigeria.

This is an outright falsehood and spin on what was said.

Sowore has always made it clear that he believes the National Assembly as currently constituted is a financial and moral drain on Nigeria.

However, we believe that what is needed to make Nigeria and is institutions work, is to have the right people and true patriots in office.

This is why Omoyele Sowore is running for the Presidency and why hundreds of our members have already indicated an interest in running for office in 2019, including to the Nigerian Senate.

It is unconstitutional to disband the Senate; such an action would require a complete rewrite of the Constitution of the Republic of Nigeria.

Indeed, when working at full efficacy, a Senate is a crucial part of a democratic system and provides important legislative and oversight functions.

Sowore’s disappointment with the current Senate as it stands - a den more concerned with neck braces and wholesale embezzlement of the Nigerian economy than it is with progressive and productive government - is one that many Nigerians share.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the way our country is governed and the endless call for justice for the Nigerian people is something that Omoyele Sowore has passionately engaged in since 1993 and will continue to do until we see real transformation in Nigeria.
