    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the spirit of this Bill, in my view, has been informed by the disagreements that have been occurring between the governors and the Senators. Much as this Bill tends to give the impression that it is involving hon. Members of the National Assembly; the gist of this Bill and the fact that it is originating from the Senate--- Actually, this is a Bill that will try to settle the supremacy wars between the Senators and the governors. Hon. Speaker, if we pass this Bill in its current form, we will have participated in the dog-fights between the Senators and the governors. I know the governors have made a mess of their work. Most of us have issues with our governors but, please, this is not the direction to go. As it stands now, this House must be informed that the Senate is still wanting very much to been seen as the upper House. They have said it in very many ways. If we permit this Bill to go in its current form, we will have allowed the Senate to position itself as the upper House."
