Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio cautioned his colleagues against legislating for corruption as the Senate began moves to legalize lobbying in the country with a bill tagged, “an Act for the regulation and registration of lobbyists in Nigeria”.
Senator Akpabio, who thrown his weight behind the Bill said, he supoort the bill so that he can retire to become a lobbyist.
The bill sponsored by Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi West) today scaled through second reading and it has been referred to the Committee of Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters for further legislative actions.
“Until we see who will pay the lobbyists, it will be as if we are legislating for corruption. In view of the fact that it is going to be a profession, I hereby support it so that we can all retire to be lobbyists, “he said.
