Who is ordinary office clerk? Do you know the position he occupies? Do you know this erudite professor's records and antecedents? No lawyer or any honest Nigerian who is matured enough in age and intellect will not respect this man's view on issues of national development

Reptyle:
Below was my comment on an earlier thread on this same matter. It is a shame that the Nigerian Senate has allowed itself to be reduced to this crass level.


[b]"The role occupied by Professor Itse Sagay is not formally recognised by the constitution. He is at best a member of the President's "kitchen cabinet" who was appointed without any recourse to the legislature.

I doubt very much that the Senate has any legal right to invite him over a statement he can easily argue that he made in his personal capacity as a Nigerian citizen.

Like I said during the Hamidu Alli debacle, the Nigerian senate needs to pick its fight carefully. There is no need issuing ineffectual and pointless decrees and summons when it will only end up making itself look irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Itse Sagay might be a lot of things but one thing he has going for him is a deep knowledge of the Nigerian constitution both as a legal practitioner and a leading academic in that field. I can almost bet that he will be releasing a statement before the end of today trashing the senate's summon and upbraiding the hell out of them."[/b]

ALAYORMII:
The Senate is fast becoming a joke


Buhari shot himself in the foot when he willingly or by mistake allowed the Senate to fall into the wrong hands



99.9% of the senators are fantastically corrupt


The remaining 0.1% are still corrupt

To interact with me, on my level, please learn to spell. But if you already can spell, then be patient enough to type correct spellings. Those who type short-hands on this forum, are those thwarts who are impatient enough to even reason correctly. You are clearly not emotionally intelligent to chat with my dog.

Bashirfuntua:
while the world is rejecting us because we're Nigerians not minding your tribe or religion. we are here fighting ourselves because of tribe and religion
Nigerians let unite against corruption,
let say no to NASS
let say no to herds men killing
let say no to injustice
let say no to Kaduna, Ife and Benue killings.

Buhari should arrest just one senator now and see how easy it is to get 2/3 of the Senate. The Senate right now are very pissed with him

AntiWailer:
Chai.

They think everybody can be bullied like that ABU VC.

He told them to get a sensible lawyer to interprete the constitution to them.

Bunch of criminals.

They recommended suspension for the senator who simply asked for investigation into what he read in the newspaper.

He said the Senate has people of questionable characters hence the Senate committee on ethics is investigating the allegations by summoning him to substantiate his claims

You call an Authority in law as a clerk.
Your ignorance stinks

Thank you very much.
The Senate can order the IG to arrest him and drag him to Senate.

Earth2Metahuman:
The same senate that summoned american ambassador to nigeria..

This senate has got to be the worst in the history.
Just bunch of clowns who think they have power to do whatever they want.

What next? They start summoning every nigerian who says anything against them?





Clowns is an understatement. A bunch of jesters'. Honestly but for checks and balances the National Assembly should be scrapped or their numbers reduced to a manageable level

The question you should be asking is why the senate under Saraki turning the house to a floor for incessant invitation because they felt their egos is trampled on.
