N’Assembly Clerk : Commissioner denies rejecting Sani-Omolori

The controversy surrounding the appointment of Mr. Mohammed Sani-Omolori, as the Acting Clerk of the National Assembly, took a dramatic twist on Monday when one of the seven commissioners, who allegedly dissociated themselves from the decision, denied signing any letter of protest.

The commissioner, Mr. Idi Ningi, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja and titled, “I did not sign any protest letter,” however, admitted that he attended a meeting, alongside five of his colleagues, in the Senate President’s residence on April 26, 2016.

Ningi, who is representing the North-East geopolitical zone on the board of the National Assembly Service Commission, said the meeting had no agenda and that the paper he signed was just an attendance sheet.
