After six weeks of recess, the Chairman, Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Dino Melaye, Monday issued a statement, stating that Nigeria Senate would resume on Tuesday.
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.”
