2023 Elections: I Will Abolish Nigerian Senate, Security Votes, Spending On Pilgrimage; Invest Saved Funds In Education–AAC Presidential Candidate, SoworeSowore said this while speaking at the Arise TV News Presidential Town Hall meeting in Abuja on Sunday.

While responding to a question on how he will tackle the issue of debt, low revenue and deficit in the country, Sowore said he will stop wasting money on irrelevant things. “There’s a body known as RMAFC, the revenue mobilisation body said recently that federal government agencies have N10 trillion unremitted revenue to the federal government.

He said the agency is not doing enough to gather and analyse intelligence to put an end to insecurity arising from terrorism and banditry in the country. "I am not the Nigerian President today. If I have been voted for in 2019, you will not be talking about places being taken over by bandits because I have divided the security problem into three.

🎊🎉🎉🎉🎊 Headline News : Winner of 2023 Election Peter Obi .

This one can't be President even in his dreams it's impossible...

This is laughable

How will you abolish it or you want to be another dictator? One thing is to have all the ideas in this world. Another is to actually govern. Mr Sowore, just show us where you have done such.

It's a good thing. But with this, I am afraid those that concerned will not vote for you. What a waste!!!

If this is a true promise, you have my vote

I find common purpose in different parties which then call for a coalition of these parties for strength to dismiss the few enemies

You have failed the test on pilgrimage. This is a no go area proving that you are irreligious, having no respect for the purpose of your existence in life - to serve The Supreme Creator of all the living.

This only shows YeleSowore is a joker; is he going to run a military type dictatorship by suspending the constitution immediately after being sworn in with it? charlatans Nigeriableeds

This one that won't even win his ward

I beg make we hear word joor.

Sowore if only you can join APC or PDP then you can gain relevance in Nigeria politics

Man you are just speaking trash, how on earth will you abolish Nigeria Senate

This is the reason why they won't vote for you

Which means you will become a DICTATOR.

& make oduduwa come to stay

Story!!!!

Okay

Good thought any way how do implement that

Do you think, we are in military era? How do you intend to scrap it when they are elected.

Don't say what u will do nw, do it them when u re in , stop using ur mouth to cause urself trouble

good manifesto. one of this few candidate that understand what Nigerians want.

Ur mumu no 2 much. Hw will u abolish senate that has been in existence since independence. I laugh wit my noise

Only Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic will save us all

Totalitarianism. I will. I will government

When he is president of Sahara reporters

Very interesting. How are going to abolish Senate which is creation of law same as president. It's even easier for Senate to abolish president and take the conutry to parliamentary system of government that president to abolish Senate.

This guy thinks this is military regime. He speaks as he imagines and not as he thinks .

Well said, but you should also know that the Senate where elected members just as you are elected president if you will be, Security votes yes if have a better security structure in place fine. But remember your bill to scrape the senate is also subject to the senate approval.

Tyranny is trying to do things undemocratically

To be frank, huge capital used to run the Senate is a total waste.

Nigeria is one of the most populous Nations in the world, and large ethnic diversity. It won't be easy to practice Unicameral legislative system.

Senegal abolished its senate in 2012 to save money. This was done in a democracy.

See mumu man

'I will do this' 'I will do that' that's how dictators are made. You cannot do anything unilateral. It's a democracy!!!

Maybe a Parliamentary system is preferable for him...all good

The more reason he won’t get there 🤣🤣🤣

My belle ooooooh...

Please how can an elite of this caliber builds skyscrapers in the moving current and people are still interested. Some Nigerians have understanding problem. Even if you can do it it must not be heard now

I’ve been telling them for ages. NGRSenate is Nigerias obstacle of progress!!!

I also don't understand the pilgrims thing. Faith is personal and pilgrimages should be funded personally and logistics should be the individuals business not the govt.

How are you gonna do this bru? By decree? 🤔

He dey smoke Igbeaux, he dey take Indian hemp 😂🤣🤣🤣 *someone please insert that video here*

Not feasible Oga!

I'm sorry, but no arm of government has the power to abolish another arm of government. Clearly, Buhari go better pass Sowore.

Interesting how some of these “contestants” don’t know difference between democracy and dictatorship

You never ready to be president, You just dey demarket your self

This's the reason Nigerians are simply, every fool what to be president of Nigeria..

E ku ise Nigerian Hitler.

The workable Nigeria I know, things no dey work like this.

Is this one a candidate? SUG president

How you wan take sit down abolish an arm of government that is important in making laws that the nation abides by, you see why them no dey take you serious?

Joker 😂😂😂😂😂 Keep Joking With The Ignorant, Una Eye Go Clear Soon ☺️

How do u abolish Senate in a democracy?

Rogue element

If Mr Sowore truly said these things, then he really spoke like a child.

No be every plans you get to do for this contraption you would make public. These evil men will fight you. Wait till you get there.

Sowore childish

Oga I like your confidence,but you can't win.sorry!!

That's my president

Beautiful plan from YeleSowore.. But retrogressive Nigeria's template won't accept such. So don't waste your time and ideas on a wrong soil. Support Yoruba nation and we shall implement your progressive ideas.

Hello u people don't reason why do we have both house of representatives and Senate at the same time ?

How? You think say we be fool? This what you mention! You ain't do nothing or change it without National Assembly passing it into law. See me, see military man o😀😀😀

Clown 😂. How can you abolish Senate in Nigeria system of Government. If is house of Rep. understandable. This guy only good as SUG president

No concept. How would you abolish the senate? What kind of government would you run. The voice of a dictator.

...education and infrastructure. I agree with you on this.

Abolish senate? Is that even possible?

Exactly the reason you will never get 10000 votes

Sowore this is one of the reason, reasonable electorates will not take you serious. Abolish the senate like a dictator? so you think the military will do better if you think like this?

Nigeria Senate na organized criminals. But then, join hand with us at LP to reshape this country.

Power of bold ideas✊🏿

Aspirants in any democratic Elections anywhere in d world are broadly divided into Pretenders & Contenders. Contenders are often d 'front runners', amongst which are likely to produced the winners. Then, 'Pretenders' those wit no real hope, but just adding colour & popularity.

Only a Fidel Castro, Jerry Rawlings or a Thoma Sankara can fulfill the promises that are made by YeleSowore in Nigeria. The problem is that these leaders did not contest elections, they took power through military coups.

This sounds nice! We will consider making you a perfect when we get to Aso Rock

I like this. But you have to support Peter Obi to realize this.

With due respect. Unless you annul the current constitution (the power that is not available to a President under this constitution) or you transform yourself into a dictator like Putin, you are making an empty electoral promise that you can't keep.

On which constitution

In as much as i feel ur good vision for our great nation im committed to POs cos for now, i must commend ur quality may after eight yrs it will be ur turn because u re loaded too cheers sowore

Bold thinking.

Nice agendas tho

How the bloody hell does this clown think as President he can just abolish the Senate without going through the process of amending the Nigerian constitution? Will 36 houses of State Assembly and the Federal House of Representatives ever support such move? Clown

🤡

What of the Igbo you said you will legalize, please don't change your mind o, because that's why I'm voting for you o!

Man you are good and great. Please join Obedient movement together we can May God bless every good citizen of Nigeria.

Tell him to go and rest

The presidency is a creature of Nigeria constitution likewise the Senate. I think Maruwa should do more on the issue of drugs, if not we shall witness unprecedented spread of mad people on our streets as seen on the social media.

How about abolishing the executive arm of government?

You just sit, think of what people will like to hear and open your mouth to talk, Nigerian FG is not SUG..

No, Mr Sowore. You are wrong about that. Because the items you listed to abolish were/are constitutional provisions. To that, I suggest championing the course of the amendment as a leader.

This one is not serious

Very petty. To abolish the Senate requires constitutional amendment which must be approved by the same senate you wish to abolish.

Hahaha this children

Go and start your journey from local government chairman

Won fefi ede oyinbo kowa lomi obe je

......with what number of senators, national assembly members, go ernors etc

Abolish what? As imperial leader ot what?

Them no go let you get there...na coup fit give you presidency..

This guy doesn't know that he won't have these powers in a Democratic setting

Sowore, you just woke up? You will abolish the senate? That means no one will vote for you ohoo! Talk of reducing their earnings or institute part time legislature rather than abolish. Think of more acceptable reasons and see if you can get one vote only

Sowore has displayed unforgivable ignorance of how a democratic system works.From where will he get the constitutional powers to abolish the Senate,?He lacks the maturity of even a local govt Councillor and should be tolerated from the comic perspective. Should remain an activist

I 'will' don start for all this politicians😂

Abolishing senate in a democratic state is laughable. Cutting down the cost of running it is a better option.

What an ambiguous I will, I will🤣🤣no be only abolish senate😅😅😅lori ro jare.🤣🤣🤣

Even though we have good for nothing and wasteful legislators. It's good for our democracy. We are not in military neither dictatorship

Nice idea but bfor u want to be a king u must serve first... Join the obi movement dis time in few years frm now we the youth might consider you

This is a bold step into getting our country back, from those who have led it to bankruptcy.. Your idea is revolutionary YeleSowore

Good for him, only that the number of invalid votes will be far more than that of Sowore in election, that is to show how unpopular Sowore is in the eyes of the voting populace but he'll get to stay at Radisson Blu for months from donated funds by mumus once again though.🤭

Aside my love for PeterObi haven experienced firsthand his tenure as governor of Anambra, YeleSowore has the character to cure this nation of it madness. hoping to see them work together

Lol. Let's see how you would get there

This one na SUG president 😂

Not a bad idea! But Nigerians are ready for this kind of idea. Harriet Tubman said: “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

You want they see yourself as Abacha wey they abolish. Governance is not for you Mr. You have a calling and that is protesting against bad governance.

Abolish , as in dictatorship era

'I will Abolish Nigeria Senate' 🤣 Reason why I don't rate most of these activist, because all they know how to do is make noise. Saying you will do what you don't even have solitary power to do. Just Blabbing on national TV and saying rubbish.

SUG president don drop quote 😂

You will, you will... pls go and give back all the money you collected from our people.

Abolish senate? Foooooll

Ogbeni this is not the real p and stop saying tf u can’t do rubbish

Sowore should just tell us with his full chest that he would be a dictator per excellence after freeriding on the horse of democracy. Nevertheless, I support the abolition of the Senate as currently constituted. Nigeria is 'too broke' to be rewarding ex-Governors for their greed

Is he going to be Military head of State?

Is this playing ..shey u de whiny me ni

How can democracy stand without the senate? I'm highly disappointed... he should think before speaking next time.
