In her reaction to Gbajabiamila online, Dr. Ezekwesili stated as follows:
“What do you folks do for Nigerians? What does Nigeria mean to you all?
“What justifies your existence as our Legislative Arm in our Democracy? Is there anything about the dire state of Nigeria that worries you at all?
“It is a monumental shame to have this massive body of lawmakers costing the country so much money because of your constant desire to take more than you give the country and people; and yet all we have is a Legislature on permanent break from the sufferings of citizens. SHAME.”
