Senate members pass 46 bills in less than 10 minutes

24 hours to the end of their tenure, members of the Nigerian Senate passed 46 bills in less than 10 minutes, a situation best described as a 'historic moment'. The Senators will be ending their tenure as tomorrow June 4th to give rise to the 8th National Assembly.

At today's plenary session, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang, announced all 46 bills before the house and then Senate President, David Mark, immediately called for votes on all the 46. He gave consent to all the "Ayess" which resulted in a rowdy session as those who were against the manner in which the bills were passed voiced their objection. The Senate President however told the aggrieved Senators to come tomorrow for consideration.

    5. This is sad for democracy. Passing bills for life pension for leadership of outgoing senate on its last day of sitting is really wrong.

    9. I know the bill passed will mostly benefit the lawmakers as most of them lost the chance to return. This isn't healthy for our democracy at all.

  5. But why the rush and why didn't the senate president entertain the opinion of those who were against the bills.
    It raises so much suspicion.
