The Nigerian Senate has strongly criticized Pastor Tunde Bakare following his recent comments referring to the legislative body as a “rubber-stamp.” During a public address, Bakare suggested that the Senate lacks independence and merely endorses executive decisions without adequate scrutiny.
Senate leaders have expressed outrage at the remarks, defending the institution’s role as a check on executive power. They emphasized the importance of their legislative responsibilities and the scrutiny applied to government actions.
The exchange has sparked a broader debate about the relationship between the executive and legislative branches in Nigeria, with calls for greater accountability and transparency. As the discussions continue, both sides remain firm in their positions, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the political landscape.
