Recall that former military president Ibrahim Babangida, and prominent Nigerians had recently advocated for part-time legislature in Nigeria.

Expatiating on his point, he told Dailytrust after the programme described the legislature as a major component of democracy was a serious business with huge task.

He maintained that legislative work must be full time for the democratic system to attain its full-fledged responsibility and ensure checks and balances among the three arms of government.
