- Tinubu forwarded names of three Resident Electoral Commissioners
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday forwarded the names of three Resident Electoral Commissioners to the Senate for approval.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio made this known during the Tuesday plenary.
The House subsequently referred the request to the committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) to report back as soon as possible.
The development is coming barely two weeks after the president nominated a lawyer, Saseyi Feyijimi Ibiyemi, as REC for Ondo State.
Meanwhile, the President has also written to the National Assembly to approve a fresh N1.767 trillion as a new external borrowing plan in the 2024 appropriation act.
According to the president, the loan is based on an exchange rate of N800 to $1.
Tinubu’s request was read by the speaker, Tajudeen Abbass, during plenary on Tuesday.
Accordingly, if approved, the loan will be used to part-finance the budget deficit of N9.7 trillion for the 2024 budget.
