The Nigerian Senate has again come under the verbal brutality of Obiageli Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education in Nigeria.
In a post, Ezekwesili accused the members of the 10th Senate of impunitive behaviour for their refusal to carry out an all-encompassing investigation into the sexual harassment allegation made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate President.
To this end, Ezekwesili branded the Nigerian Senate as “a bunch of nation-destroyers.”
Speaking further, Ezekwesili slammed the Senate, stating that it has brought reproach to the nation by refusing to provide an autonomous investigation into the matter as alleged.
The former Minister mentioned that the Senate exonerated itself from the chaos it unleashed by instigating a smear campaign against Natasha just to divert attention.
Her words:
“Hereโs @TheEconomist in yet another post on the shame brought upon Nigeria and Nigerians by @Senator_Akpabio @NGRSenate by their brazen refusal to provide an opportunity for an independent investigation and open/ transparent public hearing by a Specially Constituted Committee of the Nigerian Senate.
No one wants another Kangaroo process of injustice like they did to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan @NatashaAkpoti with their so-called โSenate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions โinvestigationโ when she was referred to that tainted committee following the heated argument between her and the Senate President over seating arrangements.
“The committee recommended a six-month suspension and other egregious punishment, which were in violation of the Constitution and yet were approved by the Senate.
โRather than reverse that illegality and focus on her petition for sexual harassment, the Senate and Senate President have instead embarked on a smear campaign against Senator @NatashaAkpoti .
โThey are currently conspiring to execute a sham Recall by bribing her constituents who thankfully have largely rejected their offer of filthy lucre.
โWhat a bunch of nation-destroyers we have as โLawmakersโ. They behave with impunity because have taken a chokehold on our democracy.
Well, it is time for all reasonable Citizens to stand up to them and all the way before they totally destroy whatever is left of Nigeria.โ
