Lawan said, “This is a very clear demonstration of how the three tiers of government work cooperatively.

“We have suspended our rules to take this confirmation today, therefore we have shown commitment.

“Ours is a society where those people who have so much money can buy judgment. But we pray that we see a departure from that.
