After six weeks of recess, the Chairman, Senate
Ad-hoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Dino
Melaye, issued a statement, stating that
Nigeria Senate would resume on Today.
Melaye dispelled speculations of a likely
postponement of the resumption. He said the
Senate will commence legislative activities and
thus set to welcome communication from
President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The speculation making rounds that legislative
activities by the Upper Chamber will be shifted is
not true and as we resume, we expect
communication from President Buhari on
ministerial nominees,” the statement said.
He stated that the Senate is committed to always
doing only those things that would promote the
unity, prosperity and wellbeing of the Nigerian
people.
Melaye also assured Nigerians that the session
will not be stormy as being envisaged by some
people, noting that there is nothing that warrants
such because there is peace and cooperation
among all Senators and it’s leadership.
“There will be no “stormy session” in the Senate
on resumption as being peddled by a section of
the media since both the leadership of the upper
chamber and all Senators are at peace among
themselves and are focused on working for the
betterment of the country at all times,” he
maintained.
Melaye in a statement in Abuja said: “I want to
confirm that the Senate will resume tomorrow
(Tuesday) and that we are set to carry out all our
legislative responsibilities.
“I also want to use this opportunity to announce
the resolve of the Senate, to do only those things
that will promote the unity, prosperity and
wellbeing of the Nigerian people.”
The Senate spokesperson also stated that the
present challenges confronting the red chamber
would be surmounted.
He added: “We are willing and ready to receive
any communication from Mr. President and we
will act accordingly. We once again reiterate our
allegiance to the Nigerian people.”
