Fani-Kayode Attacks Ahmed Lawan For Declaring All Buhari’s Request Good For Nigeria

The minister of Aviation under the Goodluck Jonathan Administration, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described the Ahmed Lawan-led senate as a rubber stamp assembly.

The former minister stated this while reacting to the statement by the Senate President that any request from President Muhammadu Buhari is good for Nigeria.

Lawan had stated this during a courtesy visit by Itse Sagay at his office on Thursday, Naija News recalls.

“I want to assure you that any request that comes from Mr President is a request that will make Nigeria a better place in terms of appointments or legislation and the senate will act expeditiously to ensure that we play our part in the confirmation or passing of legislation appropriately.”

“As far as we are concerned, those bills will have to come again and start to go through the process from the very beginning.”

“We are ready, in fact, we are in haste if those bills are ready for us to start working on them,” he had said.

Fani-Kayode who took to his Twitter account wrote, “Any request from Buhari is good for the nation. We will act on it – Senate President Shuaibu Lawan.”

“Consider the implications of the Senate President’s words. The National Assembly is meant to act as a check and balance to the power of the executive and not as a rubber stamp!”
