slimfit1: This thing you have said here, how does it relate to immunity for presiding officers of the legislature? |

Awol1: They are all the same nobody should get immunity simple. You are not a bad some will be presiding officers. I have made my point and added reasons why I'm against it. We need laws for the people not for the presiding officers. |

fergie001: You definitely did not see where my quotation mark ended signifying end to what u said. Now, Lawan and Gbaja were installed by Buhari and APC so nobody would expect anything from them. But think about tomorrow when an independent minded person would assume that sit. Why not lay the necessary framework to help him or her deliver? The immunity enjoyed today had nobody in mind while being designed. Why do you wanna have Lawan and Gbaja in mind here? |

Awol1:I don't have anybody in mind. Forget Lawan and/or Gbaja. If the President wants to take out an erring presiding Officer....with or without immunity, he will do it his way. Obasanjo removed how many Senate Presidents then? Ghali Umar Na'abba was not allowed to return. Immunity will not stop a desperate President to remove a presiding officer he doesn't like. What happens to recall from his constituency? What happens to impeachment? Immunity will only extricate these leaders to continue to hide. You can see the Deputy Gov who is parading a forged certificate hiding under immunity and there is nothing you can do about it. With or without immunity, Salisu Buhari was forced to resign. Listen...awol1...I am telling you...there are a lot of people who are clamouring for the immunity to be removed from the ones we have, adding more will not help the corruption fight but will declare open season again. |

fergie001: Do you really think it makes sense to make presidents and governors, and their deputies vulnerable to all manner of litigation which will greatly affect his performance in office? Imagine an opposition party dubiously deciding to make a governor or president tenure turbulent. What if the President or Governor is jailed of the crime, wouldn't that be denying those who voted him their mandate? |

I'm in total support to it. So that they stand up for Nigeria and Nigerians against authoritative executive. Without immunity, I think the are prone to intimidation, rubber stamp and blackmail. |
