For a change, national interest should drive legislation and oversight of the MDAs by the 10th Assembly, rather than personal gains.
At all times, lawmakers should be conscious of the fact that a parliament that trades off its independence and becomes a rubber stamp of the president is like salt that has lost its taste.
The Ninth Assembly fitted into this bill, as it helped Buhari to incur Nigeria’s current N77 trillion debt burden. Therefore, the 10th Assembly should avoid the craven and absurd acquiescence to every request of the executive arm. The Senate’s response to this will be appraised by how diligently it screens ministerial nominees and other appointees to be soon tabled before it.
