Let The Masses Breathe Comment: Senate Carpets Utomi Over Assault On Akpabio

••.Says Assault Misdirected And Uncalled For

The Senate has described as misplaced, a comment credited to a chieftain of the Labour Party, Professor Pat Utomi, over the decision of the Senate to stop the planned increase of electricity tariffs which would further increase the suffering of the masses.

A statement issued by the Chairman, Media and Publicity Committee of the Senate, Yemi Adaramodu, on Sunday in Abuja said, "the Senate is alarmed at the insidious misinterpretation enunciated by some political surrealists, who always leave the causes of their troubles to look for unnecessary scapegoats.

"The personal tirades and character assaults hauled at the Senate President by Professor Pat Utomi, are misdirected and uncalled for. Insinuating that the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Godswill Akpabio, was mocking the Nigerian masses with the phrase 'LET THE POOR BREATHE, is dressing falsehood and mischief in an undesirable garment.

"The Senate is an assembly of Distinguished men and women, who are sent by the Nigerian public to the Hallowed Chamber to represent their interests. The public-interest motion to halt an increase in the electricity tariff for Nigerians is one of such instances that tests the Senatorial responsiveness of Distinguished members of the 10th Senate.

"With the fire of the fuel subsidy removal still smouldering, the Senate opined that any increase in electricity tariff would be suffocating and that whoever is desirous in doing so should allow the poor; all Nigerians to breathe.

"The Senate President compassionately, hit the gavel with a stoic warning that any such attempts would be obnoxious, ludicrous and could only seize oxygen from the reach of the masses.

"Despite this open display of patriotism and sensitivity, some political irrenditists and turncoats feel they could turn the omnipotent actuality on its head to gain their lost momentum.

"The Senate didn't and would not mock the masses, without who, there would be no Nigerian Senate.Who, digging into an extreme partisanship to impugn on the image of the Senate and particularly the personality of the Senate President, is quite unfortunate and an exhibition of political superficialism, irreverent and opprobrious outburst.

"We believe that whoever is in the court to pursue a self-awarded electoral victory should not labour to assume that running expletives on the Senate and its leadership is the needed elixir to infuse legal blood into the dry veins of their case.

"The 10th Senate, under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has passed many life support resolutions in its short span, including the misinterpreted Senate's No to Increase in Electricity Tariff.

"We thus advise political rolling stones and pretenders not to play politics with the lives of Nigerians and allow the National Assembly to join hands with other arms of government to pull out Nigeria from economic morass and make life more abundant for us all", the statement concluded.

Imagine the confidence of oppressors

There's no need responding to wailers, if dem no wail, wetin dem go gain?. sensible nigerians that followed the full proceedings on the floor of the house knew that a senator prayed that the poor be allowed to breathe and to which Akpabio raised a voice vote for the approval of the prayer, the whole house approved it & the 'ayes" had it. But the headless mobs, in their usual doings, edited a 5secs video to circulate their foolishness.

Why is it that I feel so bad reading nigerian news especially if it's anything related to our senators

Irresponsible statement from an irresponsible senate.

Micheal Jackson sang one song that year... he talk say " All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us" if u know u know.... these Senate's don't care about the masses.. as long as their paychecks keep rolling, they will continue to make jest of the masses whether publicly or privately.

What's so funny in a prayer that the poor should be allowed to breath

What happened?

They looted grains from government storage and other valuables so governor fintri declared curfew

Some set of people in Nigeria are just here to mislead poor Nigerians. The innocent man just disapproved increase in electricity tariff and some set of people edited the video to create unrest!

This 10th Assembly will be the most docile and Rubber stamp Assembly. If they cate about the masses, then they should move for the reduction of waste in government.

Governor fintri of PDP is giving them shege.

The senate should get serious. Casting aspersions on Utomi is unsenatorial.

Utomi has lost it all , his so call professorial status needs to be reviewed , , the man knows nothing
