Senator representing Imo East Senatorial District and former Imo State Governor Rochas Anayo Okorocha argued that the country must return to a unicameral legislature model in order to Cut Costs.

Speaking after Tuesday’s plenary in Abuja at a press conference, he said Nigerian leaders should make sacrifices in promoting the nation’s interest.

According to him, the nation can only get things right when all leaders were ready to make sacrifices, saying that each State should produce a Senator to make laws on behalf of the citizens of the state at the National Assembly.

On the controversy, his contribution on the matter generated a few weeks ago, Okorocha said, his colleagues misquoted him out of context, noting that there was a need to cut costs on lawmakers.

“I have probably been misunderstood by my colleagues on what I said on the floor of the Senate that a state should produce a Senator.

“Nigeria is a large country blessed with intelligent people we need to sacrifice and also harness our potentials to get the nation moving ”

Okorocha revealed that he was already working to achieve the goal of having one Senator per State.
