If a person is bent on tarnishing your image, there is nothing you can do to please him. This is the case with one Kabiru Musa Bature on his Facebook wall against the Distinguished Senator Babangida Hussaini (APC Jigawa North West) purported to have been published by Arewa Social Media.
In his introduction, he accused senators from Northern Nigeria as lacking in leadership qualities needed to prioritise the wellbeing of their constituents, and went straight to accuse Senator Babangida Hussaini for betraying the North.
“For instance, Senator Babangida Hussaini (Walin Kazaure) and others are supporting the so-called “Tax Reform Bill,” which will only further burden citizens already struggling to survive under the current economic hardships. This bill is not designed to ease the pain of ordinary Nigerians but to enrich a few at the expense of the masses.
“However, we must commend the courage of a few senators like Senator Ali Ndume and Senator Rufai Hanga (representing Kano Central), who are standing up for what is right and refusing to be complicit in this betrayal of the Nigerian people. These senators are among the few who truly represent the interests of the North and are fighting for the betterment of their people,” the writer said.
The notion that Senator Babangida Hussaini supports the Tax Reform Bill is entirely misleading, and a figment of the imagination of the writer. His intention was betrayed as a self-evident mischief when he exonerated other legislators from the North but Hussaini.
In reality, Senator Hussaini has been quite proactive in consulting with state governors and ministers to ensure the bill aligns with the interests of the North.
He even postponed a very important trip abroad to focus on this critical matter, demonstrating his loyalty and commitment to his Northern interests.
Senator Hussaini’s decision to postpone his trip abroad to ensure the tax reform bill does not see the light of day, is a testament to his dedication to representing the interests of the North.
By putting his duties as a senator above his personal plans, he demonstrated his dedication to ensuring that the bill, which might have adverse effects on the people he represents, does not pass without thorough scrutiny.
It’s worth noting that some lawmakers have been known to travel abroad during times of turmoil or controversy, as seen in the case of some senators and representatives who reportedly fled abroad ahead of planned protests in Nigeria. However, Senator Hussaini’s actions show that he is willing to put in the work and make sacrifices to serve his constituents.
The experienced Senator Hussaini is aware of the power of a legislator’s debate in the National Assembly. The words spoken and the arguments presented by a senator or representative can have a profound impact on the lives of their constituents. A well-crafted argument can sway the opinion of fellow lawmakers and shape the outcome of a bill, ultimately benefiting the people they represent
On the other hand, a poorly presented argument or a failure to adequately represent the interests of their constituents can have adverse effects.
A bill that is passed without proper scrutiny or debate can lead to unintended consequences, harming the very people the legislator is supposed to represent.
Thus in the case of Senator Hussaini, his decision to postpone his trip abroad to participate in the debate on a critical bill demonstrates his understanding of the power of legislative debate. By being present in the chamber and contributing to the discussion, he can ensure that the interests of his constituents are protected and that any legislation passed is in their best interest.
It’s essential to set the record straight and avoid spreading misinformation. Senator Hussaini’s dedication to representing the North’s interests and his efforts to scrutinise the Tax Reform Bill should be acknowledged and deservedly praised. Rather than making assumptions or jumping to conclusions, it’s crucial that Senator Hussaini will never abandon his people to their fate. In fact, he has been vocal about issues affecting the North and has worked tirelessly to addressing them.
His dedication to the region’s development and prosperity is evident in all his actions and decisions as a legislator.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that Senator Hussaini has been part of efforts to scrutinise the budget process, ensuring that the interests of the North are protected. His commitment to transparency and accountability is commendable, and his actions demonstrate that he is a senator who truly cares about the wellbeing of his constituents. It’s not in Senator Hussaini’s character to work against the interests of his people.
Thus, the notion that Senator Hussaini supports the Tax Reform Bill is entirely misleading. In reality, he has been quite proactive in consulting with state governors and ministers to ensure the bill aligns with the interests of the North.
By putting his duties as a senator above his personal plans, he demonstrated his dedication to ensuring that the tax reform bill, which may have adverse effects on the people he represents, does not pass without thorough scrutiny.
Doing a paid job for the opposition to drag Distinguished Senator Hussaini’s name in the mud cannot fly in a region that knows their true sons and daughters.
Rather than making assumptions or jumping to conclusions, it’s crucial to rely on factual information. By doing so, we can foster a more informed and constructive discussion about the Tax Reform Bill and its potential implications for the North.
