Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday, told the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, that the Senate chamber was not a night club, therefore, she must be recognised before speaking during plenary.

The Senators were debating a bill for an Act to establish National Road Transport Council, sponsored by the Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Oyelola Ashiru (APC Kwara South).

The bill titled, ‘National Road Transportation Council (Establishment) Bill, 2024’, was aimed at “regulating the road transport industry and the transport profession and other related matters in Nigeria.”

While many senators ed the bill, others including Senators Victor Umeh and Adams Oshiomhole (APC, Edo North), kicked against it.

Opponents of the bill argued that creating the Council would be a duplication of the functions of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Vehicles Inspection Office (VIO).

They argued that the bill shouldn’t be ed at a time the government was trying to implement the Oronsanye report by merging some of the agencies with similar functions.

When Akpabio subjected the bill to voice vote to determine its acceptance or rejection, many senators said ‘aye’ and many others said ‘nay.’ This happened twice.

Senator Natasha who earlier contributed and suggested that the issue of water transportation should also be looked into, to relieve the roads of serious burden stood up again without Akpabio’s permission.

The female Senator said, “Mr President, we don’t want the bill to be killed, we just want a bit of clarification. We don’t want the bill killed, but it should be slightly modified.”

But responding, Akpabio said, “Distinguished Senator Natasha, in the chamber, you have to be recognised before you speak. We are not in a night club.” Senator Natasha responded saying, “Oh, pardon me.”

After that, the debate continued and the bill was eventually rejected by senators.

When you glorify bunch of mentally deficient retar.ds with the title of senators you get nothing but retrogressive ideas and projects.
Akpabio being so daft, couldn’t come up with better choice of words to chastise the senator.

Goes to show you the combination of minds at the helms of affairs in this country. People with poor thinking caps.

Akpabio is just a big-bellied môrôn

That was reckless from the Senate president.

Infact, personal tones was attached

What an ungentlemanly and sexist slap down by Mr Akpabio.

If a male Senator had made the same error as the lady Senator, would the Senate President have made the same remark. I doubt it.

Please correct people with respect, Mr Akpabio.

In fairness to the lady, she immediately accepted her error and, more impressively, did not appear to take offence at the Senate President's remark.

I'm not interested

Wow! You didn’t side with him on this? Maybe he’s not in good with Okpolor. Or maybe you’ve not been paid for last month’s job.

Ingrid Andress apologized for being drunk while performing her country’s national anthem and opted for rehab straight away. And lots where saying it’s a honorable thing to do.
But when baba came on drunk on democracy day and slipped, you guys argued he was only dombaleing

Wow

That's why we have been advising some of you to stop the bitter politics, bitter ing so that you can be having fair judgement about issue not always using fixated mindset

These are the types of bills sponsored by rascals for NURTW, the MC Oluomo faction thugs.

They are trying to make MC Oluomo the Executive Agbero of Nigerian transport workers.

Welcome to the era of Agberoism & rascality.

He's too harsh on her

Did this just come from you?
Wonders they say shall not end.

You lots are so tribalistic that every one going constructively against your opinions is given one name or the other. I enjoy the names cos it shields my identity perfectly.

Oya, between Apkabio's statement and your attacks on my comments, which do you think worst ?

When would some of you start to be sensitive about issue?

Obidients should stop behaving in this manner. Go through the thread, check other people's comments which are most likely the same like mine , infact you condemn Akpabio too but you chose to attack mine as you are just so bitter for only God knows early in the morning.

Those who slept good wouldn't start their day this way. Know that and have a peace of mind

How do you want to start your day if you slept good? Hurry up ok.

Gutter, crass and misogynistic Language from a sitting senate president.

In saner climes, he would apologize to her.

Akpabio needs brain reset

When you have a clown as a senate president.

Godswill Akpabio being a hardened criminal that was handpicked as the Ahmed Lawan promax Senate President by another man with abysmal moral burden is just foul and uncouth. The man is a social, moral and constitutional misfit, but this is Nigeria- a country where the most absurdest always happens.

What do you expect from a Known serving prostitute.

Haha

we really need to Kenya all these mofos parading themselves as lawmakers and sitting pretty and fat while they watch poor Nigerians scramble about for the next meal

E

Owo mida

one thg I like about Akpabio be say mouth no Dey heavy am.

It is quite disturbing that the Senate is wasting time on useless bills. I even heard of Southeast Development Commission Bill, Northeast Development Commission Bill, Southsouth Development Commission Bill and now a new bill to regulate road transport.

What is the work of FRSC, police, VIO?

It is quite disturbing!

As for the development commission bills, what are the governors doing? Do they need a commission to foster development?

These people just want to create needless bureaucracy and overbloat a disfunctional space.

As for local government elections commission bill, that bill is equally useless. Why can't INEC conduct local government elections? Very soon, there'd be a bill for food security in Nigeria.

A nightclub is where anything goes! You can stand up when you like without being recognised before standing!

We take things too serious!

Akpabio seriously gyming and working hard to become the worst senate president ever...
