SMARTMOTORS: What is the fuse about being democratically elected? Why don't you look at it from the angle that a minister is nominated directly and doesn't even need any election before being appointed? Take umahi for example, how would you compare umahi who controls a ministry that the annual budget can be over 700 billionaire naira yearly to a senator that may not even get a budget of a billion naira in a year. What's the essence of calling someone for questioning when we all know the power to sack the ministers still lies with the executive and not the legislature All the senators would dump the Senate if they have the chance to become a minister. A house of rep member would gladly be a state commissioner sef. Comparing a senator to a minister I repeat, is like comparing a boy scout to an army officer. Dem no be mate my brother. 1 Like |

A minister is higher in income and status than a senator. A senator represents a micro group of people in a particular state while a minister heads a particular ministry; a section or sector of the whole country. A minister controls the budget of his ministry. The idan is minister. |

From the contributions here, it is obvious we all know politicians (ministers, senators, govs, etc) are only there to loot but we seem unconcerned as we commend and laugh. The same people/contributors here will lament on other threats and wonder why things are not working well and economy is in shambles. The fact is, we all know but we are either defeated physcologically and we think there is nothing we can do or we're even worse in character than those politicians. |
Re: Nigerian Senator Vs Minister: Who Is Higher? by Thislifesef: 9:56pm On Aug 17, 2023 |
thesolutions:that a senator earns more than a minister is one of the funniest things I have heard this year. A minister that controls a full ministry in the whole country Baba, please go check the annual budget of the ministry of Interior for example. Comparing a senator to a minister in terms of money and Influence is like comparing a rat to a grasscutter. Minister pass senator by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 1 Like |

As for me I go with the senator because a minister is an appointment while that of a senator is an elected position. In terms of job security I will chose a senator. Tinubu fit sleep wake up and drop all the ministers but can't do that for senators |

Ahmed0336: Normally Oshiomole will be the party leader in the state. In a state where the opposition for example (PDP is in power) an elected person at the federal level automatically becomes the leader of the party in such state. In a case where they are up to 2 or 3 elected APC senators or no elected person(s) at all, they will check who is the most ranked party member. |
Re: Nigerian Senator Vs Minister: Who Is Higher? by onymodel(m): 10:24pm On Aug 17, 2023 |
Let me educate you guys.....in Nigeria, a senator is not higher than a minister. A minister holds a higher position in the government hierarchy compared to a senator. Senators are members of the legislative body (the National Assembly), while ministers are part of the executive branch and are appointed by the President to head various government ministries, and they are also exposed and recognized internationally. Thank you |

Putinofrussia:Kids talking. How can any sensible human being compare an elected office to a mere political appointment that you can be sacked at any time without explanation? A minister is nothing, the only thing that make Nigerian political criminals prefer being a minister to being a senator is because of the corruption and looting they plan to engage in as Minister since they will be controlling ministry's budget. An elected office is far bigger than a mere appointment which a Minister is. |
Re: Nigerian Senator Vs Minister: Who Is Higher? by dc23(m): 10:26pm On Aug 17, 2023 |
A minister is a representative of the president who heads the executive branch. A senator duty is simply to vet projects of the president which in most cases is brought in by a minister. Similarly, even supreme court judges are vetted by senators because that's the law. The same law makes it clear all the arms of government are equal except for the president of course. In short, a Minister comes in the name of the president so has more power to do stuff but a senator can only talk and vote. Been a minister is definitely an upgrade |
Re: Nigerian Senator Vs Minister: Who Is Higher? by franchasofficia: 10:28pm On Aug 17, 2023 |
onymodel:You lack wisdom. A lawmaker is bigger than an ordinary appointed Minister who can be fired at any time without any reason. You cannot fire a Senator but you can fire a Minister without explanation A Minister is a mere errand boy of the President who is at the mercy of the President while a Senator is an elected official just like the President. Based on Nigerian setting of corruption, a Minister stand opportunity to loot more than a Senator. That's the only ground a Minister enjoys more than a Senator but in hierarchy of political power, a Minister is an errand boy that can be fired at any time the President and his kitchen cabinet wishes. |

Thislifesef:Per head we know a single senator has less power over a single minister, but then senators are like “pack of wolfs” collectively comparing group of senators to group of ministers its the Senator. Same senators can also play a role in the impeachment of a sitting president of Nigeria. Same budgetary allocation also passes through the Senate abi you forget. A single senator can’t dismiss or sack a minister but in groups a minister can be summoned and be sacked, while a single or group of ministers can’t summon or sack a senator |
