Cost control and waste reduction: Let's Scrap the Senate And Reduce Cost of Governance - Tinubu

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has called for the scrapping of the Nigerian senate.     

According to PUNCH, Tinubu made the call while speaking at the 2012 Annual Conference and Awards ceremony organised by the Leadership Newspapers. He said, ''We have kept complaining about the cost of governance and the recurrent expenditure. But we have never examined the structural problem of even the constitution that we are operating.

''Why do we need two Houses of the National Assembly, whereas the House of Representatives representing the smaller constituencies is enough in the same number of population. Why not get rid of the Senate for a slim and better legislative activity? Let us start examining that''.
