President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has posited that the National Assembly is available for constructive criticisms if it adds value to the law-making process.
The Senate President spoke in Abuja at the unveiling of a publication titled: A Political Economy of Pandemics and Consequences of COVID-19 for Nigeria, where the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi was among the guest of honours.
In his words: “Your Majesty, let me commend you and the body of our traditional rulers across the country. You have shown understanding and total support and commitment to the National Assembly. Every one of our functions, that you are invited, you and the Sultan, you will always be there. This is what we expect from Nigerians.
“We want to have valuable contributions that will make the National Assembly legislate better for the governance of this country. We also want to open up the opportunity for Nigerians and all stakeholders really, to have the opportunity and the basis for informed criticisms on what we do because that benefits us. It makes us do better and Your Majesty, I believe that you are setting a very good example of what we expect citizens to do.
“The National Assembly is the National Assembly of Nigerians. We are only there to represent Nigerians. Anytime we do things that Nigerians are not happy with, show us the right thing to do. We are here to take our mistakes and correct everything that we feel are justified.
“And of course, legislation is not for members of the National Assembly to do alone. Legislation is for stakeholders, key stakeholders particularly, to contribute,”
