After the #NASSJointSession, here is the resolution of the National Assembly as reported by Senate President @bukolasaraki . THREAD!!
1.The Security Agencies must be given marching orders to contain all the sustained killings of Nigerians and protect the lives and properties of Nigerians — as this is the primary duty for any responsible government. #NASSJointSession
2.The systemic harassment by the executive of perceived political opponents — people with contrary opinions in the legislature and the judiciary — by the police and other security agencies must stop. #NASSJointSession
3.There must be strict adherence to the rule of law and protection for all citizens by the President and all his appointees. #NASSJointSession
4.The President must be held accountable for the actions of his appointees and must be ready to sanction, those that carry out any act, that will ridicule or endanger the country and our democracy. #NASSJointSession
5.The government should show sincerity in the fight against corruption by not being selective and also prosecute current appointees that have cases pending against them. #NASSJointSession
6.The sanctity of the National Assembly should be protected and preserved by the federal government… and prosecute those who invaded the @NGRSenate to seize the mace. #NASSJointSession
7.Democratic elections must be competitive and inclusive by removing the current reign of fear and intimidation — particularly as we approach the forthcoming 2019 elections. #NASSJointSession
8.The @nassnigeria will liaise with international communities tru the IPU, APU, ECOWAS Parliament, Pan-African Parliament, EU, US Congress & @UN to secure our democracy. The @nassnigeria will also engage with civil society organizations, trade unions and NGOs. #NASSJointSession
9. The President must take immediate steps to curtail the growing level of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria — especially now that we have an advantage of high oil prices. #NASSJointSession
10. Both chambers of the National Assembly hereby pass a vote of confidence on the Senate President, the Speaker and the entire leadership of the National Assembly. #NASSJointSession
11. We also hereby reaffirm our earlier resolution on the vote of no confidence on the IG of @PoliceNG, who does nothing but preside over innocent Nigerians with an outright disregard for constitutional authority of both the executive and the legislature. #NASSJointSession
12. The National Assembly will not hesitate to invoke its constitutional powers if nothing is done to address the above resolutions passed today. #NASSJointSession
kindly unroll, thanks.

You may choose your Title: “The Cluelessness of the Buhari Government ?” or “The Omnipotence of Bukola Saraki ?”

Issa THREAD !
Fresh facts have emerged about the Tuesday, August 7th failed coup at the National Assembly and the clandestine attempts by the Buhari administration to cover up a story that played out in the full view of the nation, both online and on social media.
Before i begin, it is important to note that the angle being peddled by aides of President Buhari, led by his PA on Social Media, @Laurestar, is that Bukola Saraki, planned the siege on the National Assembly with the former Director of DSS, Lawal Daura, to avert his removal.

25 Sins President @mBuhari Has Committed Against Nigeria’s Democracy:

THREAD!
It is tempting to say it’s a Dog eat Dog World and move on but this affects us all fundamentally. The APC Presidency has been one of the most oppressive and dictatorial government in Nigeria, despite the fact that we claim to be in a democracy
What’s even worse, is the Presidency’s disregard for parliament which sets a dangerous precedent for the future. Today, our country is a model of “How Democracies Die”.

FLASH: There is an ongoing anti-Saraki protest at the National Assembly, people were seen carrying different anti Saraki placards. Two of the protesters were interviewed, and they disclosed that they were mobilize to the venue by some persons who promised to pay them ₦1,500 each
Look at them, these people were mobilized with btw ₦1k and ₦2k to protest against @bukolasaraki, instead of staying on the issues at hand and finding solution, they are hounding Saraki who is speaking on the issues. While they keep telling Nigerians to Pray.
This beautifully branded car was also spotted, I don't think we need to ask further questions before we know who the sponsors of the protest are, and their intentions. This is the madness some unfortunate people on Twitter defend daily.

A lot has been said but none of these can invalidate the fact that the @bukolasaraki led 8th assembly is the most productive National Assembly since our return to Democracy in 1999, let me highlight a few of their accomplishments to buttress my assertion. ISSA THREAD !
1: In 2016, the @BukolaSaraki led 8th @NGRSenate initiated the first-ever National Assembly Joint Public Hearing on the budget. The 3-day Public Hearing was to give the public an opportunity to weigh-in on the Appropriations Bill.
2: To make the budget process more transparent, for the first time since 1999, the @bukolasaraki les 8th @NGRSenate laid the national budget together with its details when it passed the 2017 Appropriations Bill.
