“He pleaded that he should be allowed to liaise with the parties concerned and in my view I want to plead that we should step down discussion, so that it will not look as if we are unnecessarily confronting the executive,” he said.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki through a vote cast directed the matter be stepped down to enable the SGF intervene the matter.

“Distinguished colleagues, let’s allow the SGF intervene since he is willing to do so, so that it would not look as if in everything, we are opposing the government,” Saraki said.
