How many Labour Party Senators walked out with Senator Ningi when he was suspended and chased out of the Red Chamber? Zero. And we have at least six Labour Senators. By not walking out with Ningi, they sided with the decision to suspend him and went against their Presidential candidate. Therefore, to project that the Labour Party is better than any other party is to live in denial.
Even when Peter Obi criticised the National Assembly for buying 400 SUVs, did any Labour Senator or Representative reject their SUVs? No. They just said 'Igwe' to Akpabio and collected their share of the National Cake!
Look, I believe Senator Ningi should have told Nigerians that he was raising an alarm and not stating a fact. In that interview, he spoke as if he had facts. He did not! This is not the first time someone has been expelled from a hallowed chamber. satan also lied and was expelled from Heaven. Nigeria is a delicate country.
Some unpatriotic citizens have been calling for a military coup. Ningi's alarm could have given military adventurers a reason to act.
What he ought to have done was to investigate and if verified, then go public. But by going public without first verifying his claims, he undermined the National Assembly, the Federal Government, and democracy. I have no sympathy for him.
