Major developments took place in
the president’s absence
|
WHILE BUHARI WAS AWAY:
Operatives of the Department of
State Services (DSS) barricaded the entrance of the national assembly complex
in an operation that lasted hours.
Matthew Seiyefa took over as
acting director-general of the DSS after Lawal Daura was sacked following the
siege.
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) mounted pressure on Senate President Bukola Saraki to step down after he
left the ruling party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Federal lawmakers met with the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to consider the commission’s
budget for the 2019 polls.
The APC secured three more seats
at the senate after its members soared to victory in the Bauchi south, Katsina
north and Lokoja/Kogi senatorial bye-elections.
He should go back and remain there. Let's us all assume we don't have ssomebody like him in power. We are okay with the vice President.
