The senators said the outgoing Senate rejected some executive bills and appointments by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Abba Moro and Kabir Barkiya said the ninth senate, whose legislative year ends today with the ongoing valedictory session, has performed well.
“Sometimes some of the criticisms of the activities of the senate of the 9th assembly are borne out of lack of proper understanding of the dynamics of parliamentary practice. “In exceptional circumstances, I think the senate had stood up to the bidding and had done the right thing to ensure that the right things were done for Nigerians.”“Some reformative activities are taking place, amendments have been made to old and traditional ways of doing things.
He said the intention was to minimise the human limitations that had occasioned the scuttling of the electoral process.“For some of us, who would have expected that the electoral process is digitised all through from accreditation to voting to the transmission of results, calculation of results, all of them would have been technology-driven.”
