Mrs. Onochie made the statement in reaction to the suspension of former senate leader, Ali Ndume over false allegations he made against Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Senator Representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye.
Onochie said the federal lawmakers had turned themselves into what she called a self-serving trade union that work with blackmail.
In a statement on her Facebook Page, Onochie further said that the senators behave like errant school children, adding that it is unfortunate that the senators who she described as “criminals’, are deciding Nigerians fate.

She wrote, “At best, the Nigerian Senate has turned itself into a trade union of some sort. Not a patriotic trade union that cares and fights for the well being of the citizens, but a blackmailing self-serving trade union that work with blackmail!
“But there are many patriotic and people-oriented senators in that Chamber. Where are they? Why are they silent? Why are they succumbing to the bullying antics of a few clowns who are being manipulated by the head cabal? Yes, the cabal!
“What are the patriotic senators doing to let Nigerians know that they are not part of the unholy and demonic alliance of the awaiting-trial cabal?
“How can they sit pretty, and allow those who are either under criminal investigations or are awaiting trials to be the ones deciding the fate of Nigerians?”
