Three days to the handover of power to the incoming Buhari administration, Nigerian senators are in a last minute desperate push to amend the constitution to give them absolute powers over the new president, life immunity and life pension.
In the latest effort, the Supreme court asked the Senators and the president Goodluck Jonathan to settle out of court in 48 hours in the obvious rush effort to make these amendments that give absolute power over the incoming president, before he assumes office June 1st.
It must be noted that the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has stood on the right side of the matter, blocking the senators from achieving their goals in this proposed broad amendment packaged with corrupt perks for themselves. The assemblymen have been threatening to override Jonathan’s veto block of the amendment of the 1999 constitution.
Social activists are however kicking against the rush change that is happening while the Senators do not care about Nigerian now in an economic recession.

You work for 35 years under unsatisfactory work conditions, poor salaries without motivation, retire and start collecting stipends in the name of pensions which hardly comes if it comes at all, yet the so call senators earn the best of salaries in the world, get the best of working conditions with continuous flow of Ghana must go for just 4 or 8 years, yet they are asking for pensions. Wickedness in high places will never end. For once GEJ has mustered enough courage for the right reasons. How I wish he had been like this in the last 6 years. The senators must never succeed in this wicked and selfish last minute greed.
