Presidency/senate Face-off, Threat To National Cohesion, Democracy —ACF by sarrki(m): 6:29am On Apr 01, 2017 |
THE Arewa Constative Forum (ACF) has said the current face-off between the Presidency and National Assembly is a threat to national cohesion and democracy. The forum, therefore, called for a better working relationship between the Executive and the Senate in the interest of Nigerians. This was contained in a statement issued to newsmen in Kaduna, on Thursday, and signed by the national publicity secretary of the forum, Alhaji Muhammad Ibrahim. “It is a known fact that in the last three weeks or so, Nigerians have witnessed disagreement between officials of government that are supposed to work in concert, thereby threatening national cohesion and the development of our democracy. “The relationship between the Executive and the Senate, to say the least, is unhealthy, with each flexing its muscle to intimidate the other over issues that could easily be resolved. “This development is certainly not the best for Nigeria, considering the myriad of challenges facing the nation. We are faced with insecurity, economic recession and sociopolitical problems that require synergy between the Executive and the Senate for good governance and not show of power,” the statement read. ACF, therefore, appealed to the two arms of government to sheath their swords in the interest of Nigerians who voted them into power and work harmoniously.

PRESIDENT BUHARI, AGAIN, LISTEN..... Let me update you on a little bit of history about a few things that happened in the National Assembly: Between 1999 and 2003 the following happened: 1. President Obasanjo imposed Senator Evan(s) Enwerem as Senate President on all the senators, but when the media - yes, the media - exposed Senator Enwerem as being an ex-convict who cleverly changed his name from Evan to Evans so that he could deceive INEC and voters to become a senator, Obasanjo mobilized and sacked him as Senate President, and nothing happened! 2. The charismatic, brilliant and stylish Chuba Okadigbo became Senate President against the wishes of President Olusegun Obasanjo, but when Okadigbo awarded a contract of a mere sum of 12 million Naira without advertisemen, or without due process, as is said these days, Obasanjo again mobilized and sacked Chuba Okadigbo as Senate President, and nothing happened! 3. After Chuba Okadigbo, President Obasanjo imposed Senator Adolphus Wabara on the senate as Senate President, but when Wabara took part in receiving and sharing a bribe of a mere sum of 50 million Naira from the Minister of Education at that time, Obasanjo ordered the arrest and immediate prosecution of Senator Adolphus Wabara, and nothing happened! 4. President Obasanjo imposed Honourable Salisu Buhari on the House of Reps as their Speaker in 1999, but when the media - yes, again, the media - exposed Hon. Salisu Buhari as having forged a degree certificate purportedly from a university in Toronto, Canada, Obasanjo mobilized and got him removed as House Speaker, and nothing happened! 5. Now, I wouldn't waste time talking about House Speaker Patricia Ette matter, as that case had no any form of interference from late President Umaru Yar'Adua! BUT HERE COMES THE WORST.... JUST IN 2014... 6. President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the unlawful removal of the security aides of House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, and NOTHING HAPPENED! 7. President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the gates of the National Assembly to be shut against House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and other legislators, and NOTHING HAPPENED! 8. President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the police to teargas the National Assembly, specifically against House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and other legislators, and NOTHING HAPPENED! Not even a whimper nor condemnation through a resolution was heard from the Senate! NOW HERE IS THE DEAL.... • If a ruler like Obasanjo interfered in the affairs of the National Assembly to clamp down on either certificate forgers or bribe takers or for contract award "without due process", and NOTHING HAPPENED, • And if a notoriously corrupt ruler like Jonathan clamped down on Speaker Tambuwal; shut the gates against him; teargassed him; withdrew his security cover, and NOTHING HAPPENED, what do you think will happen if a man of integrity like you clamps down on all criminals masquerading as senators in the Senate? NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, I assure you! In your own case, you have the massive support of majority of Nigerians to decisively clamp down on these rogues, including the unflinching support of many prominent legal luminaries. So just crush them and liberate Nigeria.... After all, that's the reason we put you in power - to liberate Nigeria from crooks, criminals, and gangsters occupying positions of power! Shakespeare famously said you have to be cruel to be kind.... In other words, you have to be cruel to gangsters, criminals, and rogues in the Senate so that you will be kind to the poor people they seek to destroy with their corruption. Cruelty to crooks like Saraki and his gang by you will be an act of kindness to poor Nigerians. That's the deal. A committee cannot tame criminals. My names is Sharon Faliya Cham, and I just wanna make common sense! |

sarrki:When the president was doing his lopsided appointments did you warn him or advice him of the dangers, the senators are now using it against him to blackmail him, though the president has already set a new pattern of appointments,, you can appoint your family in all positions |
