How Saraki Saved President Buhari's Nominees From Outright Rejection By The Senate

What could have been the outright rejection of President Muhammadu Buhari's nominees, who are to be screened by the senate was on Wednesday averted by Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki. 

The nominees included Mr. Williams Babatunde Fowler, Acting Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); Eng. Umbra Garba Dambatta, Vice Chairman of the National Communication Commission (NCC); Ahmed Lawan Kuru, Managing Director of Asset Management Corporation (AMCON) as well as Mr. Kola Ayeye, Eberechukwu Fortunate Uneze and Alh. Aminu Ismail, Executive Directors, AMCON.

Saraki before commencement of sitting on Wednesday, did a random sampling of opinion of his colleagues and, sensing that many of them were angry about the breach committed by the nominees who had assumed office and were already acting in their various capacities contrary to the position of the law, the Senate President ensured that the matter was not listed on the Order Paper for the day. He also refused to mention the issue on the floor.
