In response to criticism that followed his tweet
on Monday, Senator Bukola Saraki, Nigeria’s
Senate President has stated that he never meant
that the Senate will not screen then confirm the
Service Chiefs appointed by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement issued Sanni Onogu, Chief Press
Secretary to Saraki he noted that his boss was
misunderstood. “The attention of the Media
Office of the Senate President has been drawn
to a story making the rounds to the effect that
the Senate does not need to screen or confirm
the new Service Chiefs appointed by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“However, we want to make it abundantly clear
that based on inquiries made to the Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki on
whether the Senate was consulted before the
appointment of new Service Chiefs was
announced, he had in response tweeted that the
appointment of Service Chiefs is the exclusive
function of the President as stipulated by the
Constitution.
“Let it be known that his comment is now being
misinterpreted to say the Senate will neither
screen nor confirm the new Service Chiefs. This
is far from the truth.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Saraki has said his
comment is without prejudice to extant laws and
court pronouncements on the issue and therefore
that the Senate will do the needful when the list
of the new Service Chiefs is sent to it by Mr.
President.
Saraki in a new tweet today said: “This is to
clarify the earlier position which was not up to
date and does not represent the position of the
Senate President on the issue of screening of
the newly appointed service chiefs . The Senate
will perform its constitutional duty when it
receives communication from the President on
the appointments.
The tweet by Saraki has been deleted as at the
time of filing this report.
