National Assembly overriding constitutional provisions – Sam Amadi alleges

 The Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts,
Sam Amadi, has accused the National Assembly of overriding constitutional
provisions.

Amadi made this allegation on Sunday when he appeared as a
guest in an interview on Arise Television.

He said the basis of democracy is the sending of
representatives to the National Assembly to deliberate and decide on issues as
the trustees of the citizens.

“The ease at which the National Assembly overrides
constitutional provisions is an issue.

“There is no mistaking the fact that the national assembly
is made up of mostly members of the ruling party who would support and approve
executive bills, because they need to provide the president with facilities
mainly law to achieve his agenda.

“And members of the National Assembly are precluded from
exercising that fundamental duty, which is to choose and vote, then they have
totally undermined democracy.

“So, what stands out is that whereas we are deploring and
prosecuting those who are alleged to have attempted to overthrow a democratic
government through coup plot, we are enabling an overthrow of democracy through
reckless disregard for the constitution,” he said.
