Senate suspend confirmation of all nominees from the executive

 

   The Senate’s decision was sequel to a letter to the upper chamber seeking the confirmation of Lanre Gbajabiamila, as the director-general, National Lottery Regulatory Commission, NLRC.


   According to reports, the  lawmakers, however, dismissed the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo’s request over the failure of the executive to obey certain decisions of the Senate.

  The Senate further urged the Acting President to withdraw his earlier statement that the Senate does not have the powers to confirm nominations by the executive.

Speaking at plenary yesterday, Senator Issa Misau described Osinbajo’s letter as a case of double standard.

  Senate President, Bukola Saraki  further urged the executive to obey the resolutions of the institution of the Senate.
