SENATOR DICKSON CRITICISES PRESIDENT TINUBU'S SPEECH.

Senator Seriake Dickson has criticized President Bola Tinubu's speech during the joint session of the National Assembly to commemorate the 2025 Democracy Day. 

The former governor of Bayelsa State alleged that Senate President Godswill Akpabio violated his constitutional right by rushing through the president's letters and ignoring his intervention, an action that is characteristic of military regimes, not democracy.

The senator expressed disappointment that Akpabio disregarded his right to raise a constitutional issue. 

This development has sparked concerns about the democratic process in the National Assembly.

Some stakeholders have also criticized President Tinubu's speech, saying it focused more on politics than addressing the pressing issues affecting Nigerians, such as widespread killings and economic hardship.
