He called on Nigerians, individuals, Human rights groups and social organisations to rise against such move, pointing out that the the lawmakers seeking for immunity were seeking for impunity, recklessness, deviance, and lawlessness.
The Medical doctor turned politician who warned that if the legislators could succeed in securing themselves the immunity, then “I bet you, the country would not last for ten years, because there would be so much disorderliness, and impunity would be the order of the day, and there would no longer be anything called orderliness in the country.”
Dr Orire argued that the lawmakers lacked the moral right to ask for such protection now, putting into consideration, “the allegation of budget padding, and a very shameful allegation of false declaration of assets being levelled against the leadership of the Senate and more so as Nigerians are being seen as a most corrupt country now”.
He said the idea would not only lead to the failure in war against corruption by President Muhammodu Buhari but would also nullify the efforts, and achievements of Buhari in area of anti corruption war and further make Nigeria a laughing stock in the committee of Nation as an unserious country.
According to him, “What I would have expected the lawmaker to do is to find a way to remove the governor’s immunity and even that of the President, because in all honesty, I want to be governor, and do not feel I should be excluded from investigation, and sanctions if I misbehave, God forbid.”
