There was rage in the National Assembly (NASS) past week as Senators boiled in anger over perceived disregard, by President Muhammadu Buhari, of their resolutions on issues that concern his administration.
The seething anger over the President’s attitude, combined with a few others, shaped how activities at NASS unfolded.
Furious lawmakers
On December 15, Senators could not hide their annoyance over President Buhari’s refusals to implement their resolutions on critical national issues, especially as it concerns the country’s nagging security challenges.
The Federal lawmakers bared their fangs during a debate on a motion by Senator Bello Mandiya from Katsina South Senatorial District on the abduction of about 300 students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina.
