Nigeriaworld -- Uncivil Minister, Blundering Senate (3765 words) |
 | And to show the type of a senate president he appears to be, Senator Adolphus Wabara allowed his legitimate inquiry on the fairness of the process to the accused to be drowned in the rowdy chorus of mob-like and unreflecting senators demanding the punishment of El-Rufai even without a hearing. |
 | Reading the contributions of the senators during their deliberation of the motion, it appeared that many were reacting not necessarily to the allegation before them but to the long history of their sour relationship with the FCT minister. |
 | The truth is, if the Nigerian senators cannot carry themselves with dignity and respect; if they cannot rise up to their duty as the brain and moderator of our democracy, every Nigerian who values the right of free speech should be at liberty to openly describe them as fools. |
