The National Assembly on Tuesday
reaffirmed the vote of no confidence passed by the Senate on the
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris.
This was one of the resolutions
of the lawmakers after an emergency joint session which was held behind closed
doors.
The resolutions were read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
“We also hereby reaffirm our
earlier resolution on the vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of
Police, who does nothing but preside over innocent Nigerians with an outright
disregard for the constitutional authority of both the executive and the
legislature,” Saraki said.
The upper and lower
chambers also agreed that President Muhammadu Buhari must be held accountable
for the actions of his appointees and must ensure a strict adherence to the
rule of law.
Part of the resolution read:
“That security agencies must be given a marching order to curtail the killings
across the country and protect lives of innocent Nigerians, the president,
government should show sincerity in the fight against corruption.”
