Lawmakers tackle Akpabio over quick bills passage
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has been criticized by some senators for hastily passing certain bills without proper notification or members’ contributions.
Senator Ali Ndume of the All Progressives Congress lamented the rate at which the Senate President passes bills without first reading and members’ contributions.
“You are just passing bills without prior notification, including money bills, you just pass bills within 2 hours without anyone’s contribution. This is not good for Nigeria,” Ndume said.
Senator Ogoshi Onawo of the Peoples Democratic Party also condemned the hasty passage of sensitive bills by the Senate President.
“Sir, you are on the seat today, history is going to judge you that things like this are not good for this country,” Onawo said.
The Senate President, however, defended his actions, saying that the bills he has passed are good for the country and that history will judge him right.
“I don’t think we would come here to pass a bill that’s not good for the interest of Nigerians,” Akpabio said.
