Rowdy Session At The Senate Over 'Lopsided Federal Appointments' By Buhari by infonews3: 2:14pm On Jul 19, 2018 |
ABUJA- THERE was uproar in the Senate, Thursday following complaints against alleged lopsided appointments into the federal boards and parastatals by President Muhammadu Buhari. Soon after the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki read a letter from President Buhari on the appointed of former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Tunde Lemo as Chairman, Board of Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA, the Managing director and six other others as members, deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu raised a point of order. Senator Ekwerenadu who referred the Senate to section 14(3) of 1999 Constitution, picked holes in the appointments of chairmen of boards without recourse to federal character principle, with a particular zone if the country which us South east being neglected and marginalised. According to Senator Ekweremadu, the action of President Buhari was totally unacceptable to him because the leadership of these agencies were coming from a particular part of the country. Ekweremadu who noted that he was not against anyone, but against the non adherence to federal character principle in line with the constitution and for national unity. At this point, Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan in his intervention said that whenever the government sends a list containing the list of appointments, the government does its work very well. It was at this point that the hallowed chamber became very rowdy as there were reactions, shouts from the Senators. Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki tried to bring down the tension and the rowdy nature, describing the issue as speculations, adding that what has just happened was a letter from the President. Saraki then gave the Senator Tijani Kaura, APC, Zamfara led Committee on Federal Character to investigate the issues raised by the deputy Senate President and report back at plenary next week Tuesday, adding that the probe would ascertain if there are such cases or not. Another round of uproar erupted when the Senate leader, Ahmad Lawan read executive communication for the screening of the Chairman and Commissioners of the Federal Civil Service Commission with Dr. Bello Tukur Ingawa from Katsina as Chairman. Senator Chukwuka Utazi, PDP, Enugu North came under Order 15 still on the same subject matter the screening should be kept ambience until the Senate Committee on Federal character comes up with its report. Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, PDP, Abia North corroborated Senator Utazi, calling for the putting on hold of screening and confirmation.

NIGERIA SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED POLITICALLY. TOO MUCH MONEY IS CONCENTRATED AT THE CENTRE WHICH IS MISAPPROPRIATED BY GREEDY POLITICIANS. It is the north that is not prepared for restructuring that is causing all this stumbling blocks to political reforms in Nigeria. Let Politicians go and struggle for opportunity at their own state level. Come to think of it the Presidential system of government is too expensive for Nigeria as it drains all the money meant for development of people oriented projects in Nigeria. 8 Likes |

Whatever may be the case, Buhari is too insular in his fraternity with politicians and technocrats , such that he does not avail himself of the best that can be harnessed across the breadth of Nigeria. I primarily fault his chief of staff for this. 6 Likes 1 Share |
