The Senate has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to respect the Federal Character principle and uphold merit in all appointments he is making into public offices.
This is coming less than a week after the Senate spokesman, Senator Bashiru Ajibola, protested against the lopsided appointments into the Board of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
Speaking during the screening of the Acting Judge of Federal Capital Territory as substantive judge, Garba Abdullahi, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, warned the federal government not to undermine the Federal Character principles and uphold merit in all appointments.
