enator Ita Solomon Enang is the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters , and has many years of cognate experience in National Assembly Matters having served as Chairman of the Senate and House of Representatives Business and Rules Committee at different times. A lawyer by training, Enang serves as a bridge between the Presidency and the National Assembly, defending Mr. President on one hand and upholding the rights of the lawmakers on the other hand.
Let me first of all commend Mr. President on the attention he has given to bills and other legislative measures because it is under his first term administration that the highest number of bills have been passed by the legislature. We also commend the leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives, Senator Bukola Saraki and Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara because it is under their leadership and management that the highest number of bills has been passed.
It is very rare for the legislature, on its own, to originate appropriation. Second, it is a bill on a matter where you seek to take money from the Federation Account and the Excess Crude Account . Don’t forget that the money in both accounts belongs to the three tiers of government and not the Federal Government.
It is better to have one and do away with the other because they are basically doing the same thing and when international partners want to do anything with Nigeria, with competing agencies, it would make it difficult to know who to deal with. The President clearly stated the reason why he declined assent to the Electoral Bill. First, it was wrongly drafted. The second reason was that when the President pointed out what was wrong to the bill, the National Assembly corrected the mistake but did not integrate it into the original bill and remove the offending provisions, which he objected to, before forwarding it again for assent.There were many things which were wrong and NASS members agreed when the President raised those objections.
I am sure you remember that the President came in 2015 and that year, he presented his budget in November and the NASS took up to April to pass the budget. The budget for 2018 was assented to on the 20th of June and we still have up to 20th of June 2019 to operate the budget. We can say rightly that there is a subsisting budget that was passed in April/May and it may be transmitted in May.
Nigeria has made the greatest legislative progress under President Buhari because it is one government that has told the legislature to stick exactly to its constitutional functions and he will stick exactly and precisely to his. Thankfully, there has been no time for too much politicking as was the case in the past and not much of concessions which have the potential to undermine the Constitution.
vanguardngr No, Sir, U picked Lawan so that everything from the ‘mr integrity’ executive can be swallowed hook swing n sinker to d detriment of d masses
