2023 Senate Meant For Old Timers, Not Newcomers – Nwaogu Declares

Former two-term senator for Abia Central Zone and a one-term member of the House of Representatives, Nkechi Nwaogu, has threatened anyone who is a national assembly wanabe to pocket their ambition, arguing that NASS should be for old timers only.

The Abian Senator claimed that the longer one stays in the legislature, the better one is, in terms of legislative know-how and for the benefit of their constituencies.⁣

Maintaining that the next senate should be for old-timers and doyens and not for newcomers, she urged the electorate to put this into consideration as they rationalise and decide whom to elect into the next senate in 2023.⁣

Nwaogu said this yesterday, April 21, 2022 in her home town, Umuahia, Abia State, while announcing to the All Progressives Congress members of her intention to contest and return to the Senate on the platform of the APC.⁣

She chronicled that she started federal lawmaking at the green chambers with the present Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and some others now in the Senate before graduating to the senate where she served for two terms.⁣

Nwaogu concluded, “We should put into consideration that 90 per cent of the current National Assembly members are all old-timers. Therefore, it is said, the older one serves as a lawmaker, the better and more experienced one is, in terms of legislative know-how.”⁣
