Senators, Reps biggest threat to Nigeria’s democracy’ – Ezekwesili

By Hannah Nathan, Warri

The National Assembly, according to a former minister of education named Oby Ezekwesili, is the largest threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

Ezekwesili made the statement in response to the idea of MPs purchasing 360 Toyota SUVs.

The former minister issued a warning via X, claiming that Nigerians would soon expel senators and House of Representatives members because of their pattern of misbehavior.

“So that frustrating news turned out to be true,?” Ezekwesili asked

“I read the very absurd and dishonest statement made by the @HouseNGR spokesman on their callous purchase of 360 Toyota SUVs for themselves.

“You all have the audacity to spend limited public resources on expensive cars when the majority of their population are struggling to pay for food, transportation, school costs, and medical expenses?

“At this stage, it is evident you want to continue with your serial bad behaviour.

“Just be aware that the day will come, and it will come very soon, when it will be your irate Nigerian citizens, not the military, who will rise up and force all of you criminally negligent and insensitive individuals out of power. And very soon as well”.
