On 21st July, 2024 the Nigerian Senator representing Abia State North Senatorial, Senator Orji Kalu in a post he made Via his official Facebook account, revealed that it would be a very good idea if his colleagues and other members of the Houses of Assembly would agree that they could sit for three months and do constitutional amendment first so that they could be sitting in the National Assembly four time a year.
According to Punch Newspaper, the Nigerian Senator representing Abia State North Senatorial, Senator Orji Kalu said “I think it will be a very good idea if my colleagues and other members of the Houses of Assembly will agree that we can sit for three months and do constitutional amendment first.
So we can sit four times a year, and if there’s any emergency, there will be emergency sitting. We can come to do a presidential bid on that basis and go back instead of sitting on a full-time basis. Not only the Senate and the House of Representatives but all the legislative houses in Nigeria will be part-time. If we’re going for a regional government, it also means that the ministers, the legislators, will be the same.”
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialization, Senator Uzor Orji Kalu added that he would encourage the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Assembly to make these kinds of laws because it would help President Tinubu in running the affairs of the country.
He also added he wanted Nigerians and his colleagues at the National Assembly to do a quick constitutional amendment so they could go and be a part-time sitting Senate and part-time sitting House of Representatives and other thirty-six State Houses of Assembly in the country….Viêw _More
