Suspended nominees by Senate
The Senate has decided to suspend all issues relating to the confirmation of nominees submitted by the executive over what is termed a move to reduce its legislative powers.
The acting President Yemi Osinbajo has been urged to respect the constitution and laws enacted by the National assembly as it related to confirmation of appointments. Also the acting president should withdraw his statement that the Senate did not have powers to confirm some officers and, henceforth adhere to the constitution.
According to Adeyeye, no one has the permission to dance around a law passed by the National Assembly, signed by the President.
"Whoever has a problem with any law should go to court. Until a court declares it null and void it remains the law of the land. Anyone who does not respect it is breaking the law of the land," he said.
