SENATORS are angry over the refusal of the presidency to subject nominees into appointive offices to screening and confirmation processes before they are asked to assume office, with many of them declaring that what is fast becoming a fad under the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is an affront on the legislature.

The lawmakers, who spoke under strict condition of anonymity, insisted that the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to name some appointees without a recourse to the Senate was not only a violation of the laws, but also a way of tying the hands of the Senate in confirming such appointments.

President Buhari had named the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in acting capacity, besides the appointment of the board of the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) and the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) before referring them to Senate for confirmation.

The president also named appointees to the National Communications Commission (NCC) without confirmation by the Senate.

Presidential Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, two weeks ago, said the letter requesting the confirmation of AMCON appointees had been prepared in readiness for dispatch to the Senate.

Sources in the Senate, however, said the lawmakers were angry that their powers to dispassionately assess the nominees were being eroded, as the appointees had already assumed office, started drawing salaries and allowances and had also started implementing policies.

“It is wrong for an appointee, who is supposed to be confirmed by the Senate before appointment, to assume office and then come for confirmation. In such situation, the man is already enjoying the pecks of office and the confirmation is being made to look like a fiat accomplished,” one of the senators said.

The lawmaker said the general opinion among his colleagues was to lay ambush for those who had assumed duties before their confirmation by the Senate.

“Notwithstanding the argument being held on to by the Presidency, the fact is that the Senate was not set up as a rubberstamp institution.

“The Senate should be in a position to confirm or reject a nominee and it is absurd for the nominee to appear before the Senate for confirmation with all the paraphernalia of the office he is seeking,” another senator said.

“You don’t see this in the United States of America from where we borrow our democracy. Appointees are grilled by the Senate and the chamber reserves the right to reject anyone without ruffling feathers.

“In our case, however, once any of these nominees is rejected, the media would shout it that Senate removes Buhari’s nominee. It’s unprecedented and uncalled for,” another senator said on Tuesday.

A senator further said the appointments by Buhari amounted to a violation of the constitution, since the appointees had resumed office and started acting before their appointments were confirmed by the Senate.

According to him, the constitution provided that the appointments shall be subject to Senate confirmation, adding that it was absurd that some of the appointees had started spending money from the office before their confirmation.

“What we are seeing concerning these appointments amount to an offence and gross breach of the constitution. I am aware that senators are peeved by this conduct and there is the thinking that some of those who have assumed office might have disqualified themselves.

“The lawmakers consider the development as an abuse of their respect for Buhari and that the act is undermining the Senate,” a senator in the know said.

Another senator said tough questions actually await any nominee who assume office before clearance by the Senate, adding that the lawmakers would be tempted to ask why they needed Senate confirmation after they had assumed duty.

“They will also be asked what legal grounds they relied on to assume duty when the Senate was yet to confirm them,” a source in the legislature said on Wednesday.

Senators speaking under conditions of anonymity? Hmmmm. You know what I think people? No senator said nothing! Tribune is just expressing its view and doesn't want to do so directly for fear of Buhari's wrath.

egift:


The lousy clown don't even have the audacity to put his name on record if he knows what he is saying. PDP have complete lost it.

Thank God we have a President that knows what he is doing not that clueless guy. Wailers will keep crying from their hideouts. When they come out, we will respond proportionately.

Mugu

I don't know the senator that are angry? Is it those ones that are on holiday? These are the people never seat for a week without fracas and long recess, Nigerians are just watching them, they should go and bury their head in shame.

This is not a military Government for christ sake!

We are in DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT, were PMB said "I belongs to nobody, I belongs to everybody".

He is not a stewpid and foolish fella like your father.
Also, he comes from a race that does not believe you can only succeed, by stabbing others in the back!
That role is reserved for your people in that God-forsaken, erosion-ridden cursed land of Biafra

Osinbajo asked for,... and was voted-in as VeePee! He is quite satisfied with his role in developing Nigeria, as its VeePee.

Now gerrout, son of Hatred, Anger and Frustration! Satan begone!!

omolami:
I urge the NASS to use this and many others as reasons to do the needful; Impeach Buhari period Let him make history as first president to be impeached

Just like Jonaa-DAFT made "history" as the first INCUMBENT President to b kicked out of Office!

As for Buhari, not even in your dreams.
He will be President till 2023 ..... so you #WAILERS can suffer for good 8years!

Ok na..

I don't think cows obey any law ever, so is their master. Buhari is a dictator, a law breaker and a terrorist sympathiser.

DDeliverer:

and so

DDeliverer:


But you should understand that the senators are right in this case. Like one of the senators rightly said "It is wrong for an appointee, who is supposed to be confirmed by the Senate before appointment, to assume office and then come for confirmation"..It should be the other way round.
Buhari should not make mockery of the legislature.

it is not a PD P or an APC thing.....its a DEMOCRACY thing.

if this story is anything to go by then I guess Buhari is a one mans squad n isn't a democrats as he claims. He isn't going by the constitution as he formerly promised. Now he is doing His thing. Cuz failure to do that would bring untold problems in the future. Or does he think because he isn't going for second tenure he is free to do as he pleases? Let's wait and see

Let them come out in public and say their mind, not behind or anonymously.

Jobless thieves.

I watch the US Senators and Obama meeting and disagreeing or agree on key national issues.

Why is black man's mind so weak?

Dey are south east senators#anti-change

4stylz:
It will be an interesting 4years

Yes ooooo, more good things than these are coming, Sai buhari.

How does religion relate to this?? I'm assuming you are a Christian. I am too, and the difference between you and I is, I'm learned and cultured like the bible taught us, you are learned but stupid and uncultured like the bible warned us. Won't hurt you to use your brain a lil bit more....

An impeachment notice should be served to the duara dullardiho before he reference quoran as his guiding principles on national matters.
