Then what's the need for opposition when they can easily suspend member that has divergent views

This country must fail and divide for anything meaningful to happen in various regions...


It's the political elites vs the rest of us

Stop deceiving yourself.

Nothing like democracy in Nigeria.

It will be difficult for Nigeria as a country for this nonsense.

BlueRayDick:
But which kind yeye democratic system we dey run for this country?

A senator is a representative of his constituents; they are the ones who voted for him to represent them at the national level. Why should fellow senators suspend a senator thereby preventing him from carrying out legislative duties which his constituents sent him there to do?

Senators suspending their fellow senator because they do not agree with him on an issue should not be allowed by law. Why prevent him from carrying out his legislative duty when u didn't vote him into senate in the first place?

A Senator who wants to make such allegations should also be able to provide proof of his claims. You cannot just go about making allegations without evidence.
Even in the US, a member can be suspended and even removed for going against the rules of Congress.
He should provide proof of his allegations or STFU.

Chicagograduate:
Go and ask him for proof since you are one of the senators that suspended him.

Haha 😂, your moniker though, Chicagograduate, like seriously, una go kill person with laugh for nairaland

l am expecting new monikers to spring out called 3trillion naira, budget padding, Ningisuspension etc monikers this week hahaha 🤣

Yankee101:
So Nigerians should keep quiet and keep being made poorer and poorer by the these thieves?

that's why those agitating for Biafra is agitating and ur likes are against them. It will surely reach everyone

Everything is politics to you boys.

Budget padding has been in existence since Buhari and APC started ruling.

sharrap there.

Nigeriainfo Lagos interview

NairaOcean:
This tweet from Shehu Sani sheds light on the severe consequences of suspension in the Nigerian Senate.



Senator Shehu Sani

If SUSPENSION is the Sacrifice,, then let them suffer the suspension.

This is why it is very important not to talk while eating. You might get stuck with bone on the throat.

So because your people sent you, you feel you can just go about misbehaving abi?
Because your people sent you it means you won't follow rules that are set aside collectively to maintain order. Look at how Nigerians talk?
This man just went on air to lay a claim that is obviously untrue and a claim that he can't defend.
As a matter of fact you should be satin his people should remove him ( If that is allowed) because how can he claim to be representing them and even those of us who followed the budget via the live broadcast know that the Presidency presented a budget of 27.5T but a senator who was sitting down there doesn't know what the president presented, he is not fit to be a senator representing the people you are talking about.

That said: where ever he comes from and who ever he represent is not higher than the laws that guilds the Nation.

Thinking through your ass it seems

The National Assembly don become a cult assembly that you cannot talk because the assembly had bought your freedom of speech. But is that not contrary to the law that says whatever you say on the floor of the assembly, you're not liable to be sue for it. I think the lawyers in the house need to test this in the law court.
Again, I thought the court said sometimes ago that the assembly has no right to suspend any lawmaker because they are representative of the people and all of them have equal right. That it's only the court or their constituency that can remove them. Nigeria democracy is somehow my people.

Frigga13:
Now we understand why the hastily suspended the senator from Bauchi state..

For speaking the truth and standing on his word even if they wan suspend am

To discipline the next .. saboteurs..

One Yoruba Senator even requested he be suspended for a year..

Another Yoruba asked for 6 months

Thank Godly one with conscience... knowing the guy was being honest .. only you don’t talk while eating prayed for 3 months.

As e stands like.. with Apc..

Padding has been officially formal.. with a starting of 3 trillion

Next year budget will get 10 trillion with no one to talk or question

Nigeria is gone... Tinubu truly came prepared to loot steal destroy and damaged the country


God help us

Where is the truth he spoke, please kindly show us anywhere where the president presented a budget of N25T to the house.

What do you Nigerians do with your brains?

Please i beg of you just show us anywhere at all where a budget of 25T was presented.

You can't even think for your self, you just accepted because it is against the government.
Airhead

It's antidemocratic for any chamber to suspend any of her member because each member is a representative of his or her people or constituency. Suspension means you're rendering the member inactive for that period not to represent his or her people. That's antidemocratic. It also goes against the law that says as a member of a parliament everything you say at the hallowed chamber you cannot be liable of it or sue for it because you're engaging in constitutionally duty.
I think what they should have done is for the assembly to sue him for libel and let the court decide his fate instead of rendering him and his constituency incapacitated for months. Democracy doesn't work that way.
Here below was what Femi Falana said on suspension of members as antidemocratic.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.thecable.ng/falana-says-legislature-has-no-power-to-suspend-any-member/amp&ved=2ahUKEwi29eegsfGEAxXBS0EAHSQoCyoQFnoECCAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw22GMgbz-yoQsHaDdE8NdxA

Na we Nigerians dey mumu...if we occupy dat senate and demand justice for senator Ningi and publicly pass a vote of no confidence on the entire senate. The heat will be on them and. We are too docile as a people.

Opportunity will come, we cannot capitalise on it to forcefully rescue this country. Whoever normally switches off the mic, whenever the spirit of the land is about to make them spill out the truth, should be judicially dealt with. Nigerians are smarter than this imbeciles parading themselves as excellencies and honourables.

Putindbutt:

You lack understanding about this issue, you just dey do follow follow. The President clearly presented 27trillion budget but if Ningi says it was 25trillion, where's the proof?.

Was he challenged to prove it and he failed before he got suspended? People like you remind me of that guy that swam in the gutter for Buhari. Is there any low you guys cannot get for Tilumbu?

I can see sense is far from u for using abusive words when responding to a post that neither insult u nor anyone else.

For your information, the moment the senator challenges the suspension in court , it will be lifted. A high court already ruled that any suspension that exceeds 14 days is illegal. That is because the legislator is expected to be in the house to represent his people who voted him.

If the senate as a body or individual senators believe he has done them any wrong with his allegation, they should sue him to court. Simple

Una go say una like democracy , but u can't act like democrats. smh

When you win election as a senator, help us address all these issues raised by. We need someone like you in the senate who would tell them that this is democracy we will talk any how. I love your spirit. The spirit of no guiding rules.

I think that is what is expected in a saner democracy. How would you suspend someone you have the same stake together. It doesn't make sense at all. Each member is representing a people and should not be denied of representing the people that voted him for any reason, except the court state otherwise.

Where's the beauty of democracy if a senator is not allowed to speak truth to power?

When the northerners are in power, they do whatever they like and southerners just watch and do nothing so as not to be seen as jeopardising other people's chance

But when a southerner is in power and does same thing,the northerner will wanna use the southerner to shine and claim "honesty,patriot"..and if that southerner aint lucky,mumu coneheads will join the north to sack him,like the did to jonathan and like sanusi did to then bank CEOs

Thank God for the now enlightened southerners in the senate especially that yoruba senator who stood by Akpabio.

this is the main reason

His Salary, allowances and all entitlements will be blocked.

every other thing he said is irrelevant

NINJI SHOULD APPROACH THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT.... JUST LIKE NDUME DID... WHAT NONSENSE

Ours is even better. In USA, the Congress can dismiss or remove a member from the Congress. In Nigeria, dismissing of a member is through recall by his or her constituentm

No!

There is nothing like check and balance and separation of power in Nigeria democracy if an elected fellow is given power to relief a fellow elected senator because of disagreement
