    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to comment on the Report that has been tabled by the Committee of Powers and Privileges. I have no doubt that this is unprecedented. In the history that the Parliament has been in existence, I have never seen a situation where such a harsh, excessive and almost unreasonable verdict was meted out on a Member. More so, a lady and young MP who should be nurtured, grow and make the women of the Republic proud. If there is a day that I feel ashamed as a Senator, it is today. There is a time PLO Lumumba said that you should never respond to a mosquito with a hammer. That is what we have done today. I do not agree with certain conduct of Sen. Orwoba. I do not agree. Many times, I have reached out to Sen. Orwoba to have a word with her as an elder. That is how it should be. We all falter and make mistakes. However, we must walk along with each other. I have said before, if I see an injustice to any Senator on this or on that side, I will never walk along with it. Therefore, even if we wanted to pass some judgement on Sen. Orwoba, it is not what I am seeing in the Report. A proposal to suspend her for the remainder of the Second Session of the 13th Parliament. In all fairness, that is excessive. It is unjust and unreasonable."
