presidency commends Senate for supporting Buhari's stay in London

The Senate recently carpeted
protesters who called for President
Muhammadu Buhari's resignation
- The Senate argued the President
Buhari had not flouted any part of the
constitution in his stay in London
- Commending the lawmakers for their
position, Ita Enang called them
partners in progress
The presidency has commended the
Nigerian Senate for declaring its position
in support of Muhammadu Buhari's stay
in London in spite of protests by some
Nigerians.
President Buhari has been in London on
sick leave for over three months resulting
in protests by some groups in Nigeria.
The Senate however says he complied
with the constitution by handing over to
Prof Yemi Osinbajo, his deputy.
Daily Trust reports that President Buhari's
senior special assistant on National
Assembly matters, Senator Ita Enang, gave
the commendation and described the
Senate as patriotic.
Speaking at an interacting session in
Abuja, Enang reportedly said: "The stance
of the senate is very patriotic; very
commendable and very constitutional.
"The Senate has always stood right and
upright on matters of national interest
and whenever there is objection or
anything that the Senate has objection to
we look at it maturely and we look at it
amicably.
"In this particular situation as in most
other situations, I commend the Senate.
"We thank the Senate for the stabilizing
statement and for the position they have
taken because it is the position of the law
of the constitution.
"The president is entitled to, under the
constitution, transmits a formal letter to
the Senate and House of Representatives
informing them of his vacation and until
he returns and transmits another letter
the acting president is still the acting
president and there is no vacuum in the
country.
So, all actions of the government like
that of the executive, legislature and the
judiciary are going on and nothing is
affected adversely by the vacation of Mr
President since there is no vacuum in the
country," Enang said.
NAIJ.com reported that the Senate on
Wednesday, August 9 took a swipe at a
group of protesters who stormed the
nation's Capital, Abuja, demanding for the
immediate return of President
Muhammadu Buhari to the country,
saying that such persons should leave
Buhari alone as he has not violated any
law of the land.
The Senate said the demands by the
protesters were unreasonable, saying that
they were only creating what it termed,
unnecessary tension in the country and
seeking to divert the attention of the
presidency from the economic and
security issues which are being tackled
with vigour.

It was learnt that the alleged militants operating around the creeks in the area were flagged down by the corporal and three of his colleagues at about 8.30pm. Rather than wait, the driver of the snatched car in which the militants travelled zoomed off. This prompted Atorough to chase them with a motorcycle alone. However, since he went after them, he is yet to be seen. READ ALSO: Kidnapped reverend sisters rescued by Nigerian police His colleagues were said to later trail the all...

Upgrading Of All Institutions Post utme Score

                                             In Nigeria as we all know, everything is based on favouritism and not on luck. This strategy is also applied before one acquires an admission into the university. 4 example, lets take a glance at that of last year. Many of us scored above 250 in our jamb scores and still scored above 60 in our post ume scores but still didint attain admission into the university. While many score below 200 in their jamb scores and below 50 in their post ume scores and still got admission into their score of choice. !! This strategy i just mentioned above is very legal and it is even authorised bythe V.C of the school, because they sign and approve the admission list before it is published. Getting an admission is not only based on ones knowledge, but you also have to play your cards well. What i just told you now is a genuine and authoris...
