"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided by your direction. Allow me to remind this House that on 25th June, 2024, when this House was invaded by young people, everybody else took off, including Members of the National Assembly. Yesterday in a conversation with the Senate Majority Leader, I reminded him that the decision that the Senate took to stay on course and confront issues as they were to a very great extent saved this country. We should never shy away from confronting our realities. Even when there are serious conflicts, we should never shy away from confronting our realities. We are the “Upper House”. That is what we pride ourselves to be. When the Senate speaks, the country should listen, the President should listen, the opposition should listen. When the Senate speaks, every other leader in this country should listen to what we are saying. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided by your direction, that maybe we need to bring a Motion to discuss these issues or maybe not. The truth of the matter is that we have an opportunity as a Senate to bring the temperatures down and make sure that the country moves in the right direction. I thank you."
