Senator representing Imo East
Senatorial District and former governor of Imo State, Rochas Anayo Okorocha has
insisted that the nation must revert to a unicameral system of legislature in
order to cut cost.
Speaking at a press conference
after Tuesday’s plenary in Abuja, he said, Nigerian leaders must make
sacrifices when it comes to pushing the interest of the nation.
According to him, the nation can
only get things right when all leaders were ready to make sacrifices, saying
that each State should produce a Senator to make laws on behalf of the citizens
of the state at the National Assembly.
On the controversy, his
contribution on the matter generated a few weeks ago, Okorocha said, his
colleagues misquoted him out of context, noting that there was a need to cut
costs on lawmakers.
“I have probably been
misunderstood by my colleagues on what I said on the floor of the Senate that a
state should produce a Senator.
“Nigeria is a large country
blessed with intelligent people we need to sacrifice and also harness our
potentials to get the nation moving ”
Okorocha disclosed that he was
already working towards achieving the aim of making sure that there was one
Senator per State.
