Maku Apologises To Senate Over Statement
The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, has apologised to the Senate over his comment that the resolutions of the Senate were only advisory and not binding.
The minister offered the apology on Tuesday in Abuja when he appeared before the Senate to clarify the statement credited to him in the media. The Senate had passed a resolution upon its resumption from recess that the federal government should stop the proposed issuance of N5,000 note.
Finally our country Nigeria grows to the level, where political leaders are held accountable for their words. This trend should be exemplified by all tiers of government and the society as large, as public office holders must be held responsibly over the success, failures, words or actions that emanate from their offices.
