PREMIUM TIMES reviews the performance of the Senate under the presidency of Ahmad Lawan with regards to successes and failures recorded.

While the lawmakers can praise themselves for maintaining a peaceful and cordial relationship with the Executive, the ninth assembly has failed to check the excesses of the Executive – a major role the legislative arm was created to play.

They have also failed to check the excesses of executive appointees whether through sponsored deliberations or petitions.Borrowing appears to have become synonymous with the Buhari administration. This is responsible for the nation’s rising debt profile. “The bilateral loans are even with zero per cent interest rates. Since we don’t have a better option, than to accept the request, we have also started oversight functions to ensure judicious utilisation of the loans in the overall interest of Nigerians.

It is, arguably, more like a one-sided love affair with the legislature on the giving end and the executive on the receiving end; no reciprocity. “We addressed the issue. We passed resolutions. We set up committees and far-reaching resolutions passed and sent to the Executive. The fact that actions were not taken by the Executive is not our fault. We find ourselves in a situation where we are doing what is right for Nigerians and the executive is failing to implement it. That is not to say that we have not performed,” Benue senator, Gabriel Suswam, said.

The senators have barely had 30 plenary sessions in 2021 alone, a poor record compared to the constitutional requirement of 181 plenary sessions in a legislative year.

How will a rubber stamp senate perform?

EmodiMba The WORST AND MOST USELESS SPNigeria DrAhmadLawan

he will be a better fat Headers

Was there even a success?

The only success they recorded so far that I know were confirmation of appointments and loan approval. Electoral amended law and PIB that are very vital to our democracy and economy were abandoned. If the head is rotten, there's no way the body can function. 2 more years😭😭😭

What better thing can a Rubber stamp President and his follow follow members do?

There number one function is approve another loan😃😃.. Rubber stamp

Do you expect anything from a rubber stamp senate President and House speaker

Abdulhaphiez They are only there to perform one function, approve another loan

Just big nose and vibes, very unfortunate for a man who has been in the Nass for over 16 years.

No. They are there for failure. It would have been a surprise if they succeeded.

That is why Nigerians have disowned the 9th nassnigeria. Nobody associates with failure.They are not the people's representatives as they were imposed on us through election rigging.

Let them keep deceiving themselves, one thing is certain this 9th nassnigeria under DrAhmadLawan remains the biggest failure of this administration. They have nothing more to offer. Posterity will judge.

What did you expect from a rubber-stamp legislature to a derelict government?

JajaPhD What do you expect from a rubber stamp senate?

What do you expect from a Senate leader that is ✋ picked by bubu

Total failure

The only job he knows is LOAN approval

Congrats to APc

EidusiObose Nigerians,pls I need a job.. Hunger is real😪.. pls help me get a job or recommend me to others. I beg you in God's name. I'm a graduate of public administration.i can barely feed 😪Please retweet my pinned tweet💔🙏

The 9th Senate said they are rubber stamps of the executive. That is all they are rubber stamp. They are discarded when not need & after a while get torn & only fit for the garbage can.

Bad one
