There comes a time when leaders have to do some form of stock-taking.
There is also time for those who are led to acknowledge and appreciate
the good and exemplary works of their leaders. For the President of the
Senate of Nigeria, Chief David Mark and his dutiful deputy, Chief Ike
Ekweremadu, this is the time to assess their leadership, give them the
necessary and inspiring part on the back and allow them to finish the
good work they have started.At no time in the history of Nigeria’s
constitutionalism and democratic republicanism has the Country been so
blessed with pre-active and dedicated leaders as now in the apex
legislative body, the Senate.
The senate is the apex of
what may be described as the legislative pyramid in Nigeria. It sits
atop all the legislative organs of Government in Nigeria. Naturally, the
senate is the boding legislative organ in the country. The Senate is
expected to serve as a leading and a beacon of sorts to other
legislatures. In most advance democracies, Senators are statesmen with a
track-record of achievements and services to their people. By reason of
their position, they exert tremendous influence on Government policies
and enact laws which promote the general welfare and well-being of their
people.
