President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on Monday, said he had no power to reverse the suspension of a former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume.
Saraki said this in an interview with State House correspondents after meeting behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said he would only convey the message of the Borno State Governor on the matter to the larger house that suspended Ndume.
He said being a Senate President or Speaker of the House of Representatives only make them first among equals.

God please help us Nigerians so that this APC administration will not kill our democracy. How can the members of the house take a collective decision suspending a member for misconduct and now you are expecting the senate president to recall the erring member.
ReplyDeleteNot that he alone to call him back, but as Senate president if he wishes he can talk to them and plead so that they can move another motion for reversing the suspension. I hope you are clear. Whether call him back or not Is.left for them most of them are group of budget padding
ReplyDeleteYes. He could influence and command majority of them to do that
