Osinbajo must obey confirmation resolutions – Senate
The Senate on Tuesday resolved to suspend all confirmation requests from the executive until decisions of the legislature are respected by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
In a four-prayer motion unanimously adopted by the lawmakers, the Senate frowned at a statement credited to the Acting President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that the Senate had no power to confirm the chairman of the EFCC.
Osinbajo was quoted as saying that the Senate only had the power to confirm Ministerial and Ambassadorial nominees.
The decision of the Senate arose from a motion raised by Senator Ahmed Sani following a letter requesting the confirmation of Mr Lanre Gbajabiamiller as Director General of the National lottery Commission.
