The Nigerian Senate on Thursday dismissed report that it was planning to shut down President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over the refusal of some political appointees to honour its invitation.
It will be recalled that Hameed Ali, comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and Babachir Lawal, secretary to the government of the federation, had failed to honour the invitations of the upper chamber.
Speaking in a statement by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Sabi Abdullahi, the Senate said, “My attention has been drawn to a fabricated report on some online media in which I was said to have spoken on behalf of Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and threatened that Senate would go “to court and stop the entire government from working.
