I wonder if the participants found it shocking or funny. I am intrigued by both his audacity in making the suggestion and his reasons for doing so. I am surprised there is no rush yet to quarter him by the acolytes of the distinguished senators Fayemi wants to make jobless.
I dare say that the governor cannot count on many, if any supporters, for his view. It comes more than 50 years too late in the day for us to even think about it. Our bicameral legislature is cast, not just in stone but on marble. Difficult to chip at it with a teaspoon. I suspect though that if he had suggested this when Dr Bukola Saraki was calling the shots in the fractious executive-legislative eighth senate, I know who would perk up his ears.
To prune the size of government should be a task that must be done. But it is a task no president or governor would like to undertake. Belling the cat, as the rats knew long ago, carries with it some obvious personal and political risks. No one forgets that the next election looms on billboards in the near horizon, anyway.
In politics, nothing really is cast in stone. Unlike religion, fossilization is anathema to every form of government. Things must change with the changing mores, morals and contemporary demands of a new take on governance. Thus, the national assembly enjoys inherent powers to amend the constitution by deleting those provisions that no longer serve the national interests and substituting them with those that do in contemporary political thoughts.
What a writing piece. I wish you it doesn't matter finish
More like a ritual everybody must follow.
You know what? I am beginning to think Nigeria cost of governance can be leaner, slimmer and smarter if we do away with 360 and retain 109. Unicameralism is the way to go!
I believe in action than spoken words! Until I see the reality of it
Trim that fat drastically so that those intent on looting will not contest.

The legislative arm is very important for Democracy to strive. However, due to d fact dat these legislators in Nigeria are jokers, let them scrap their salaries and allowances. Let them earn 5000 naira per sitting. So govt can reduce unnecessary spendings
