<\/p>\nDAILY POST recalls that Okorocha on Thursday canvassed for the reduction of parliamentarians representing each state of the federation, saying the nation cannot afford their expenditure anymore.<\/p>\n
Okorocha, a former Governor representing Imo West Senatorial District, stated this while contributing to a Committee report on MTEF at the Senate Thursday\u2019s plenary.<\/p>\n
He faulted the bicameral legislature, saying that there was nothing too sacrosanct that Senators and House of Representatives members were doing that only senators could not do.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. President of the Senate, distinguished colleagues, let\u2019s tell ourselves the truth. Look at the number of House of Representatives members and Senators.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo me, what is too important that a House member is doing that a Senator from the same state is not doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is time for us to sacrifice and I want to say that a Senator is enough to represent a State in order to cut cost. We must do sacrifice for the nation. \u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting, Onochie took to her Twitter page, commending Okorocha for his suggestion at the senate.<\/p>\n
According to her, Okorocha spoke the mind of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
Onochie wrote: \u201cI never thought that we would hear this on the floor of our National Assembly. In Nigeria. Wow!<\/p>\n
\u201cI must applaud Sen. Okorocha for his bravery. I hope he spoke the mind of the majority of our Assembly men and women because he spoke the mind of most Nigerians. God bless Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
