The Senate Tuesday said that it is prepared to receive the list of ministerial nominees from the Presidency any time it is submitted.
The upper chamber also said that the apparent delay in the submission of the ministerial list by President Muhammadu Buhari will not prevent senators from embarking on their scheduled annual vacation.Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, who addressed reporters in Abuja said that it was not the duty of the Senate to determine when the ministerial list would be submitted to it.
“That is our constitutional mandate. It is not even within our powers to even advise. We will wait until the matter is transmitted to us. “I don’t think this matter should worry any Nigerian. We are supposed to receive the letter with the list of ministerial nominee transmitted to the Senate.
