Ali Ndume, the senator
representing Borno South in the National Assembly, has revealed why his
colleagues are allegedly afraid of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and
compromise on critical issues.
He claimed that senators
compromise a lot because going against the “standpoint” of the Senate President
will lead to them losing certain “advantages and privileges” due them.
Speaking at a News Agency of
Nigeria, NAN, forum in Abuja, Ndume said these alleged privileges were all in
the hands of the Senate President.
He alleged that the Senate has
been personalized, hence lawmakers are afraid of expressing their opinion.
According to Ndume, “Senators are
afraid of expressing their opinion on what they believe in for fear of
persecution, discrimination or sabotage.
“For instance, everything is in
the hands of the Senate leadership or the President of the Senate.
“This is to the extent that if
you go against the standpoint of the Senate President there is the possibility
of missing certain advantages and privileges that senators see as important;
so, they compromise.”
