PHOTO: Senate summoned of Professor Itse Sagay is an abuse of Power and unconstitutional- Jiti

The call by the Nigerian Senate to summon Professor Itse Sagay on his alleged derogatory comment he made against the Nigerian Senate, has been called as a move to 'kill freedom of speech, an abuse of legislative powers and in all, unconstitutional, by a Lagos base lawyer,  Jiti Ogunye...
The motion which was moved by Senate Deputy Majority Leader, Balla, while making reference to a newspaper publication, as to where Professor Itse Sagay who is a member of the Presidential Advisory committee, has made the alleged statement, calls the Senate to call the Professor to the Senate, so as he can point out those Senators he made reference to in his interview...as being corrupt...
...But speaking on the call to summon Sagay, Jiti while appearing on Channelstv 10pm news...and when asked if it was right to summon Professor Sagay, and suspend Senator Ali Ndume, he said:
“The basic reason why you have the legislature is to promote peace order and good governance”
 “They know they don’t have the authority. When you are using the legislative process, it is an abuse of power for self-aggrandizement to witch-hunt your opponent and you are trying to kill the right to freedom of speech,”

 On Senator Ndume, he said: “There was no offence, It was a scam and very sad as if the legislature has a veto power over the executive”.
