The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has clarified reports that he disowned acting president Yemi Osinbajo over his statement that the Senate has no powers to confirm some nominees appointed by the presidency.
Malami in a statement said the president, and in this case, the acting president, is the presidency and therefore cannot be disowned by the presidency.
He said all matters relating to presidential appointments and nominations were strictly matters for the presidency to handle. ”They are not for the Federal Executive Council,” he added.
The AGF appealed to the media to take seriously its responsibility to inform the public honestly and accurately and refrain from distorting or sensationalizing the news, and to seek clarification when in doubt.
