9th National Assembly: What Buhari will do about choice of Senate President, Speaker – Ita Enang
President Muhammadu Buhari will not overstep his constitutional boundary on the issue of electing the leadership of the 9th National Assembly.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is a man of high principles. His stand on this matter is that each arm of government should function according to what the constitution says. His comments were coming amid reports that some ranking All Progressives Congress members-elect have begun moves to become principal officers of the Ninth Assembly.
Some APC senators-elect have reportedly advised the Presidency and the party’s leadership against sitting on the fence to avoid a repeat of the “2015 mistake’’ leadership tussle in the NASS. Mr Enang also spoke on concerns in some quarters of the over 43 “greenhorn senators’’ expected in the Ninth Assembly and its effect on the quality of bills.
