The office of the Clerk of the National Assembly, CNA, yesterday denied receiving any communication whether formal or informal from President Muhammadu Buhari to delay the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly.
Sources in the CNA office claimed that there was neither official letter, nor SMS message from the presidency directing the Clerk of the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa, to delay the inauguration. When Vanguard visited the office at about 2:30pm, Thursday, to confirm whether the CNA was in receipt of any official communication from Mr. President directing him to delay the inauguration because of the alleged meeting he scheduled with the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senators and House of Representatives members-elect, he was not on seat and his office was under lock and key. The source who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to make any official statement on the matter said, ” there was no official communication through memo from the presidency, no even text messages or phone calls. “Anybody that has any form of evidence like that, I challenge the person to make it public. Even if there was anything like that, it was not enough to stop the proclamation because it is a constitutional ritual that happens every four years. Read more on vanguard.
