No sir. He represents his Federal Constituency, the people who voted him. Did you vote for or against him. He also represents the Senate if appointed into committees to handle functions of oversight. Hd also represents his party on issues for and against party positions, manifestos and interests. How Bruce represents someone in kaura Namoda or Epe befuddles me. It is the Executive that has pan-Nigerian responsibilities. Ben Bruce did not swear to the Nigerian flag at Eagles Square. That is why I have always advocated for the Legislature to be sponsored by their constituency to represent them in Abuja. It should not be a full time job and the Executive who they check should not hold the purse strings.

obj like her because obj like smelling vagina

Oh my my my goodness

Mr Bruce just has a way dropping the bomb. Actually what he said is common sense.

After all, Madam Oby was not asking him in good light. She was being too personal. Like a sycophant.

I think some people just can't believe that Mr Bruce does not align with them politically yet makes so much sense. Why do you guys over hype the immigrant?

They just wish Mr Bruce was a buharideen or a zombie. So the get annoyed at him for no reason.

One question for them, Bruce grew up in Lagos.

If he goes head to head with remi tinubu, for that senatorial district, who will you vote for. Just say the truth.

Whether it should be a full time job is another debate and another discussion . That is not relevant here

So the Senators from Lagos Should keep quiet about Boko Haram because it does not affect them? That is upside down Logic . Senators have a responsibility to their constituents and to NIGERIA . I repeat TO NIGERIA . That is what they swore to. So unless you are telling me otherwise senators are NOT ONLY responsible to their constituents but to NIGERIA and ALL NIGERIANS. Why should a senator from Imo state be concerned about Chibok Girls ? By your logic it is not their business

The fact is that all senators represent all Nigerians, The Senate makes laws on issues in Epe or kaura Namoda, is it only those from Kaura Namoda or Epe that vote on suuch issues? When Lagos State applies for Foreign Loans is it only Lagos Senators that speak.
This specific issue on cars is there a kaura Namoda jeep or an Epe Jeep. Is the opportunity cost of the jeep not affecting everyone.
Let me explain a ver simple concept to you > It is called precedence. If a course of action is proposed and it does not directly affect a senator's constituents at that time and he fails to oppose in the future when it is attempted on his constituents it will be too late. There are few federal laws or actions that are so limited in scope or territory that they do not affect everyone. Finally NO ONE SENATOR can pass any law or take any action without the involvement of others. There is one Senate and NOT 109

Technically she dosen't have a senator representing her in the senate since Uche Ekwunife representing Anambra central have been sacked by the appeal court. ( Obiageli Ezekwesili would never have dared to ask Uche any nonsense question anyway, Uche will roast her alive if she dares.)

YOLO1:
Is Ben BRUCE the only senator at the senate? We shouldn't pinpoint him for the excesses of NASS. He is not the senate president. He doesn't even have a major post dia

Whether you like it or not, a Legislator is responsible to his constituency. That is the premise of this system of government. Have you heard of the term 'national interest'. This is where the likes of Bokoharam, the Olympics, JAMB, etc affects a typical lawmaker: 'as they AFFECT his people so his interests lie'. That is why on typical motions votes are taken. The Executive doesn't vote on issues because it has a fixed stand driven by campaign promises and party manifesto to deliver but the Legislators vote because they are a 'reactionary' arm of government. They take stands in accordance with the interests of their people and in doing so make laws or set aside laws that affect their people. Bruce will/may support an anti-bokoharam bill because of the consequences of its spread to his region, because it could threaten his institution and because his people serve under arms. When the ND militancy was churning, SS states through their reps asked for many things, they got some enough to pacify but not all they wanted in the interest of other parts of Nigeria. Have you forgotten on-shore/off-shore. Was it not a national issue but each side took a stand in the interests of his/her people. That is what the House is for. To represent your interests not to compete with the Executive for governance. So like Ben said, 'YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SUV's. HAVE YOU ASKED YOUR REP'. Do you even know him or her. Governance does not start and end with Buhari, Saraki, Dino or Bruce. We must learn how things work if not the kind of frustration you exemplify will continue.

They don't understand because democracy is new here. In the States when people want to do things, be it gun violence, oil spills, indigenous land rights, industrial pollution, automobile defects, whatever, they start by gathering signatures on a petition and this goes to their rep who sees this and after countless meetings pushes this forward in the House for consideration. That is how individuals influence things in a democracy. Or gather signatures and petition the ethics and privileges committee. But to descend on one Senator out of 109 for not stopping a widely accepted benefit without even a petition is just ridiculous and any card carrying member of the APC who is complaining should be doubly ashamed that it is a PDP senator taking a risky moral stand at that.
