There is no doubt that members of Nigeria’s National Assembly have grown too big for their boots and it is time the Nigerian people are massively fed with the liberating enlightenment that they possess the powers to cut them to size. Yes, the lawmakers need to be served an urgent reminder that they are in that Legislative House because the people have so far chosen to tolerate their deficient representation and can wake up one morning, decide that they have had enough of their abject lack of patriotism, suffocating arrogance and insensitivity and ask them to pack their loads and return home.
Senate President Lawan, Pres Buhari and Speaker Gbajabiamila
Their recent decision to
brazenly sabotage the yearning of Nigerians for a more transparent and credible
electoral process by voting against electronic transmission of results only
served to open the eyes of many Nigerians to the extent these lawmakers have
convinced themselves that they have become untouchable emperors who can ride
roughshod on the citizenry and abort their most cherished aspirations without
the minutest fear of any consequence.
