8th Senate Council, worst ever , says Sagay

Renowned lawyer, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), says, the 8th Senate is the worst in the history of Nigeria, adding that they will be kicked out come 2019.

Sagay said this in a statement written in his personal capacity and not as the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption.

Sagay added, “This Senate is by far the worst in Nigerian history. Nothing good has ever emanated from them. Their grab for executive powers, confrontation with the President and Vice-President, their love of self-serving legislation and total insensitivity to the common interest of Nigeria is sensational and unprecedented.

“The outcome of all this malevolence against Nigerians is that they will achieve nothing before they leave in 2019, and Nigerians will turn out in millions to clap them out of relevance.”

He specifically lambasted the Bukola Saraki-led Senate for refusing to devolve powers to the states, scrapping the State Electoral Commission and for refusing to ensure 35 per cent affirmative action for women.
