The Senate President, Ahmed
Lawan, has accepted Olu Onemola’s rejection of his appointment as Special
Assistant on New Media.
A statement by the Special
Assistant to the Senate President on Media & Publicity, Mohammed Isa, made
this known on Sunday in Abuja.
The resignation, according to the
statement, is contained in a letter addressed to the Senate President.
In the letter, Onemola, who
served in the same capacity under ex-Senate President, Bukola Saraki, thanked
Lawan for the offer to continue to serve and promote the work of the 9th
Senate, “which I’m sure is borne out your patriotic desire to serve the
Nigerian people.”
“However, at this time, given my
antecedents and the controversy this has generated, I would respectfully like
to be excused from taking up this national assignment.
“It is my hope that whoever does
fill this role will build upon what we have started in terms of opening up the
activities of the Nigerian Senate to the public,” he added.
The Senate President, the
statement added, has since approved the resignation and wished Onemola “all the
best in his future endeavors”.
Supporters of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) have been attacking Lawan over his recent
appointments.
