Senate President Bukola Saraki has insisted
that the upper legislative chamber will not be
intimidated as it seeks to discharge its
constitutional duties.
Saraki stated this following a closed-door
meeting by the Senate on Tuesday before
plenary.
He revealed that the lawmakers deliberated
on issues bordering on the National
Assembly’s integrity.
“We cannot be intimidated from carrying out
our constitutional duties at all times.
“Nothing will stop the National Assembly,
especially the Senate, from performing its
duties,” he said.
Saraki has given a final deadline for sub-
committees to submit their 2017 budget
reports to the Appropriations Committee.
The Senate President gave Thursday as the
last day for the budget report submission.
Saraki gave the order after a closed-door
session and expressed disappointment that
about 20 committees were yet to submit
report to the Danjuma Goje-led Appropriations
Committee.
According to Saraki, after Thursday’s deadline,
the Red Chamber would have no choice, but
rely on submissions from the Executive.
