Edo Assembly: Constitutional lawyer urges Senate C’ttee to be guided by laws vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

A constitutional lawyer, Barrister Adaze Andrew Emwanta, has called on the members of the Senate Committee on the resolution of the issues at the Edo State House of Assembly to be guided by the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.

Emwanta said the world is watching every step being taken by the committee members and advised them to shun overtures from Abuja politicians that may want to hijack the committee’s work. He added: “If the senators do what is right, posterity will remember them and celebrate them even to their great grand-children, but if they allow themselves to be used by an aspiring godfather and power monger, history will document and replay such unholy role in the Edo Assembly saga.

The constitutional lawyer, noted: “Edo people are aware of the pressure that some Abuja politicians are mounting on the senators. But we expect the senate committee members to avoid anything that could colour their assignment, human or material.”
