Nigerian senators according to the
Tribune are angry over the refusal of the presidency to subject nominees into
appointive offices to screening and confirmation processes before they are
asked to assume office.
Many of them say what is fast
becoming a fad under the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is an affront on
the legislature.
The
lawmakers, who spoke under strict condition of anonymity, insisted that the
decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to name some appointees without recourse
to the Senate was not only a violation of the laws, but also a way of tying the
hands of the Senate in confirming such appointments.
President Buhari had named the
chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in acting
capacity, besides the appointment of the board of the Asset Management Company
of Nigeria (AMCON) and the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service
(FIRS) before referring them to Senate for confirmation
