The Presidency has apologized to the Senate over the comment of the Representative of the Attorney General of the Federation during a meeting with the committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters. Ita Enang, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Legislative Matters (Senate) made the apology while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja on Friday. Enang said that it was wrong for the Attorney General’s representative Mr Okoi Obono-Obla to have said that the Senate had no right to have invited the attorney General, Abubakar Malami.
“I heard the statements after and I want to apologise to the Distinguished Senate, to the Committee on Judiciary and to the distinguished senators. “That statement ought not to have been made: the Attorney General is Attorney General of the Federation, appointed by Mr President, cleared by the Senate and responsible for the federation. We are going into this matter, we will handle this matter but I first have to tender my unreserved apology for the impression it may have created to the distinguished Senate, senators and the committee members,” he said.
