SEN. NWAEBONYI IS RIGHT: DR. OBY EZEKWESILI “CAN NEVER BE HERE!

By DANIEL EDOR
*SEN. NWAEBONYI IS RIGHT: DR. OBY EZEKWESILI “CAN NEVER BE HERE!”* Following Monday’s verbal spat between Dr. Oby Ezekwesili and freshman Ebonyi Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi at a Senate Ethics hearing on the sexual harassment allegations by Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, people’s reactions have focused exclusively on the part where Nwaebonyi told Distinguished Dr. Oby Ezekwesili that she was *”a disgrace to womanhood”* Well, it’s debatable whether a thoroughly distinguished and accomplished woman like Dr. Oby Ezekwesili is a disgrace to womanhood. I will return to that. I want to draw people’s attention to the other part of Nwaebonyi’s nondebatable tantrums. You know what they say about a broken clock – it is correct twice daily. Sen. Nwaebonyi stated some indisputable truth when he said: *”That is why you can never be here [in the Nigerian Senate]. People like you can never be here. How can you be?”* Nwaebonyi is right; decent people cannot ...
