The president’s letter of request was read out at plenary by Senate President Ahmad Lawan.
Senate Leader, Senator Ibrahim Gobir (APC – Sokoto East) moved that “the Senate do consider the request of Mr. President C-in-C for the approval of the Senate to appoint 20 Special Advisers.” after the letter was read.
Expectedly, his motion was seconded by the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Philip Aduda.
The Senate however granted accelerated consideration of the request and promptly approved it.
