According to the report from Voice TV, Senator Adams Oshiomhole has expressed deep concern over what he described as a hasty approach to lawmaking in the Senate, declaring that he would not be a “rubber-stamp” legislator.
Speaking during a heated session, Oshiomhole stated emphatically that lawmakers were elected to scrutinize and deliberate on bills, not to merely endorse them without due consideration.
“We are not meant to rubber-stamp, and the way you are reading this thing, it will take a genius to be able to make a point,” he said. “We are making laws, sir. I want to be on record that I am troubled by the way in which we are rushing without details, and tomorrow it will be said that argument between Senator Ndume and our President, you were there, I was not there.”
The former Edo State governor cautioned that the legislative process must not be compromised for the sake of speed, warning that lawmakers risked being held accountable for poorly vetted laws.
“If we rush till tomorrow, I say I don’t know about the law, you will say I was in the Senate,” Oshiomhole continued. “I do not see the merit of rushing. I do not see why I should be given four bills to rubber-stamp. If that was the case, we need unicameral, not bicameral.”
Oshiomhole’s comments appeared directed at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, as he underscored the need for thorough debate and transparency in legislative proceedings.
His remarks highlight growing internal concerns among senators over the pace and manner in which key legislative proposals are being processed in the upper chamber.
