– The National Assembly has condemned President Buhari’s recent move to admit Nigeria into the Islamic coalition against terrorism
– NASS says it was not consulted for approval before the move was made
– President Buhari has also been faulted for a declaration made in an interview with Al-Jazeera Emerging reports suggests that there is a rift between the National Assembly and President Buhari over the president’s move to admit Nigeria into the 34-member Saudi Arabia-led coalition fight­ing Islamic terrorism.

Members of the National Assembly, including the Office of the Senate President, have disowned the move, saying that Pres­ident Buhari did not seek the ap­proval of the National Assembly before the government made such a weighty international commit­ment in the name of the country. Breaking Times reports that the Office of the President of the Senate denied knowledge or endorsement of Nigeria’s mem­bership of the Saudi-led coalition. According to the special advis­er to the president of the Senate on media and publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, there was no knowl­edge of a presidential communi­cation to his principal either pri­vately or officially on Nigeria’s membership of the Saudi Arabia coalition against the Islamic ter­rorist.

He explained that if there had been such a correspondence from the presidency under “Letter from President Muhammadu Buhari,” it would have been read on the floor of the Senate before now. Reacting to Nigeria’s possible member­ship of the Saudi-led anti-terror coa­lition, a member of the Senate, Sen­ator Adeola Solomon Olamilekan (APC- Lagos West), said although Nigeria is already a member of the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC), it still behoves on the presi­dent to seek approval from the Na­tional Assembly before engaging in such a treaty. “As I speak to you, the President has not sought the Na­tional Assembly’s permission and I know he would not engage in any such thing given the economic re­cession and paucity of funds in the national treasury. But for all I know, he has not sought the National As­sembly’s approval to enter into such a coalition. “It is not like the President has dragged Nigeria into membership of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition. Nigeria is a member of Organisa­tion of Islamic Countries (OIC) and if the president is going to join any Islamic group to intervene or to bring Nigeria on board to fight ter­rorism, he still needs to seek approv­al from the National Assembly,” Senator Olamilekan said. The lawmaker, who doubles as the vice chairman of the Senate com­mittee on communications, ar­gued that though the president has the right to initiate any good part­nership with other countries of the world, he still has to get the approv­al of the National Assembly in line with the constitution of the Feder­al Republic of Nigeria. In reaction to the issue, a mem­ber of the House of Representa­tives, Hon Oghene Emma Egoh, representing Amuwo Odofin fed­eral constituency of Lagos state, de­nied any knowledge of the National Assembly’s approval of the purport­ed membership of the coaliton. read more at>[http://www.technetcruz.com/2016/03/nass-and-buhari-clash-over-islamic.html#more]

Christians how market?

God is watching him with 4D . The God Christians serve is a peaceful and loving God.

Abeg who dey go Eko hotels here 2mrw for Ays show?I dey turn up

To me I think due process should be followed in a democratic setting like this.

NASS rave as though they won't pocket their integrity should bribe money comes out

Is this man trying to islamise Nigeria? He shouldn't even try to cos what happened in Central African Republic will be very little compared to what would happen in Nigeria.

May be the NASS believes the president shouldn't make any decision without their approval.

Why then do they take decision such as chairmen of their committees without seeking president's approval??

This is Democracy, where due process should be followed according to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Buhari has shown to abuse the law, the earlier we stop this, the better for the country.

Good one, NASS.

GenBuhari:

what did u just type here?
This is a democratic rule there are things the president cant do without a law backing it.

Including a multi religious country like Nigeria into an Islamic coalition is not what the president can do with his veto power. NASS has to look into it then decide on the best way forward.

My Dear before you defend anyman... Make sure your friend is on the side of the law.

What happened?

asuustrike2009:
What happened?

the christians so dealt with the muslims that they not only burnt them alive but also ate them.

Unfortunately, the 8th NASS members are clowns and rubber stamp

Work work work work work, Buhari work work work work......!




In Rihannna's voice.

Work work work work work, Buhari work work work work......!




In Rihannna's voice.

Which way is Nigeria going? I wonder what will happen to this country in the next 2-3years. May GOD save Nigeria from this impending disaster.

What is the position of VP Osibande on this?

that's disgusting

meccuno:
that's disgusting

that singular act alone ended the madness of those muslims. The same treatment should be given to this hausa/fulani muslims and arabs as well.

We are part of the coalition to fight already. *in buhari's voice* if you don't like it, take up arms and go fight BH in the NE or militancy in the ND. Nigeria is more important than any religious bigot.

dullard presido always clashing with people

shallow thing, look at what you are celebrating because of your dirty religious inclination. Maybe where christian population in Rwanda gave the world the worst genocide was as a result of 'islamization'.
Try the nonsense you jst related in Nigeria and see; maybe it worked in CAR because of the population of muslims there, just try that shiit here and see.
