The Senate has flayed a former presidential aspirant, Tunde Bakare, for criticising the 10th National Assembly and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the state of the nation.
Bakare, a pastor, said on Sunday that the country under President Tinubu was descending into tyranny and brazen abuse of power.
He also stated that under the watch of the president, the 10th National Assembly, a bastion of democracy, was collapsing, describing it as the worst assembly so far.
But reacting, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (APC, Ekiti South) on Tuesday, described Bakare’s submission as a “biased and political ecumenical homily.”
Senator Adaramodu in a statement said, “His position as a political leader influences the context of his statements, which are not only reflections of personal views but also carry significant political implications.
“While some may attempt to portray an unnecessary adversarial dynamic between the National Assembly and the executive arm of government as a marker of virility in checks and balances, we must clarify that such tension, though it may entertain some, does not necessarily equate to effective legislative oversight.”
