STRONG indications have emerged on Tuesday that the Acting President
Yemi Osinbajo risks being impeached if the executive fails to carry out
the decisions of the Senators as the Senate has asked him to as a matter
of urgency withdraw his statement that the National Assembly lacks the
powers to confirm nominations from the President.
The Senate has
also vowed to suspend all issues relating to confirmation from the
Executive until such matters of confirmation as contained in the
constitution were strictly adhered to, just as it urged the Acting
President to respect the constitution of the land. The Senate has also
asked Acting
President Osinbajo to respect rejections of nominees by the
Senate.
Resolutions of the Senate were sequel to a point of
Order raised by Senator Ahmed Sani, APC, Zamfara West that a letter from
Acting President Osinbajo on the appointment of Lanre Gbajabiamila as
the Director General, National Lottery Commission.
Soon after
Senate President Bukola Saraki read the letter from the Acting
President, Senator Ahned Sani raised the point of Order which later
generated hot debate from other Senators.
Details later...
