• Says Suspension Of Emefiele Is An Indictment On NASS
The senator who represented Adamawa South in the 9th National Assembly, Binos Dauda Yaroe, has indicated that he agrees with those who said the ninth Senate is a rubberstamp.
Speaking in Abuja, he also took a swipe at the National Assembly over the recent suspension of the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, describing it as a slap on the face of the National Assembly.
“Furthermore, the suspension of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele and subjecting him to investigation is a mild indictment of the National Assembly. This is so because if we have done our oversight duties properly, we would not have gotten to this level.
“I hope the 10th senate will take its job as the Watchdog of the Executive more seriously. I also hope that the 10th senate will operate and adhere to its own rules, take their rules on the procedures of the bills in rule 76, 77 and 78. For instance, those bills for second reading are circulated to all senators. But very often, bills will pass first and second reading without senators doing the needful. I hope the 10th senate will conduct its business more properly.”
