It will be recalled that the present 8th Assembly was inaugurated amidst drama on 9th of June, 2015.
Since the inception of the leadership of the National Assembly, we have been experiencing different dramas almost every month.

I don't want to talk about the physical combat recorded at the green chamber.
The trial of the number one leader of the red house who has been standing trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false declaration of assets is an embarrassment to Nigeria and Nigerians.
Though different court injunctions to stop the CCT from prosecuting him have been sought but the latest by a retiring Justice John Fabiyi has been quashed by the apex court of the land, Supreme Court.
In a same clime, the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki should have taken the path of honour by honorary resigning his position as the head of the hallow chamber.
It is lugubrious to see a corruptible judge making case for justice. Who who must call for probity must come with clean hands.
Though I can't but commend the way the proposed 2016 fiscal document is being handled at both the Senate and the house of Reps.
But my position is that it will be a bad precedent if Saraki goes scorefree going by the allegations levelled against him and his person.
It is a claim in some quarter that the trial is a vendetta cum political persecution but he should prove that to the court.
Seeing my Senate in the accuse dock is rubbishing the institution and this will make him to lose the moral right to initiate or condemn any probe.
This is because, he himself is wallowing in the pool of corruption. Presently today in Nigeria, corruption is the bane of out development.
It is my believe that they are many capable hands that can steer the ship of the Senate.
This will go in no small measure in boosting our image internationally.
A perceived corrupt leaders cannot make a sound judgment.
Better Nigeria is possible.
