President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan , has warned that there could be anarchy if the Senate is scrapped as being clamoured by some Nigerians .
Rather , he challenged those who are not comfortable with the senators in the current 9 th Senate to vote them out in 2023 if they don ’ t like their faces .
Lawan stated this on Friday while declaring open , a retreat for top management staff of the National Assembly and National Assembly Service Commission in Abuja .
He described the Senate as a leveler which ensured that all parts of the country are equally represented unlike the House of Representatives where states with higher populations produce the highest number of lawmakers .
The Senate President also faulted the argument of those clamouring for the scrapping of the Senate because of the perceived jumbo pay being earned by the senators .
He said the annual budget of the National Assembly is less than one per cent of the nation’ s 2021 budget .
