appointment of Mohammed Sani-Omolori, as
the Clerk to the Assembly
– Saraki said Ben Efeturi, who is currently
the deputy clerk to the National Assembly
should have replaced outgoing Salisu
Maikasuwa
Senate president, Bukola Saraki
Embattled president of the Senate, Bukola
Saraki, has rejected the appointment of
Mohammed Sani-Omolori, as the Clerk to the
Assembly.
Mr Sani-Omolori was named the acting Clerk
to the National Assembly on Wednesday,
April 20.
But in a letter dated April 21, Saraki’s Chief
of staff, Isa Galaud to Mr. Fika, said the
appointment did not follow due process.
Saraki said Ben Efeturi, who is currently the
deputy clerk to the National Assembly
should have replaced Salisu Maikasuwa, who
is proceeding on pre-retirement leave this
month.
“The President of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives were informed
that Mr. Efeturi was not considered for the
appointment because he was not duly
appointed as Deputy Clerk of the National
Assembly.
“On further enquiry, we found he was duly
appointed by the National Assembly Service
Commission vide Extract from Minutes of its
403rd Meeting held on Friday, 21st November,
2014.
“From the foregoing, you have misled and
misinformed the President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“Consequently, I am directed by His
Excellency, the Senate President, to inform you
that the letter appointing Mr Sani Omolori as
Acting Clerk of the National Assembly, be
withdrawn immediately for further
consultations.”
THE LETTER
The Chairman National Assembly Service
Commission
TOS Benson Street, Utako,
Abuja
Withdrawal of Letter of Appointment of
Acting Clerk of National Assembly
We present to you the compliments of the
President of the Senate and Chairman of the
National Assembly, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki, CON. Please recall that during your
last meeting with the Senate President on
April 20, 2016, the procedure of the
appointment of the Acting Clerk of the
National Assembly was discussed.
The Commission was directed to follow due
process and ensure that seniority is adhered
to. Of course, Mr Benedict Efeturi who is
Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly
(DCNA) and who has previously acted as the
Clerk of the National Assembly should be the
first to be considered.
Most importantly, you have been directed to
confer with the Senate President the
outcome of the Commission’s meeting
before letter of appointment is issued and
regrettably that did not happen.
The President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
were informed that Mr. Efeturi was not
considered for the appointment because he
was not duly appointed as Deputy Clerk of
the National Assembly. On further enquiry,
we found he was duly appointed by the
National Assembly Service Commission.
Consequently, I am directed by His
Excellency, the Senate President, to inform
you that the letter appointing Mr Sani
Omolori as Acting Clerk of the National
Assembly be withdrawn immediately for
further consultations.
Please accept the assurances of my
warmest regards.
Sen. Isa Galaudu
Chief of Staff to the Senate President
