The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, has alleged that the National Assembly is acting in a manner that overrides provisions of the Constitution.

Amadi made the allegation on Sunday while speaking as a guest on Arise Television.

He argued that democracy is fundamentally based on citizens electing representatives to the National Assembly to deliberate on matters and make decisions on behalf of the people.

“The ease at which the National Assembly overrides constitutional provisions is an issue.

“There is no mistaking the fact that the national assembly is made up of mostly members of the ruling party who would support and approve executive bills, because they need to provide the president with facilities mainly law to achieve his agenda.

“And members of the National Assembly are precluded from exercising that fundamental duty, which is to choose and vote, then they have totally undermined democracy.

“So, what stands out is that whereas we are deploring and prosecuting those who are alleged to have attempted to overthrow a democratic government through coup plot, we are enabling an overthrow of democracy through reckless disregard for the constitution,” he said.
