“In accordance with the provisions of Section 154(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate, the appointments of the under-listed four nominees as Members of the Police Service Commission,” the letter partly read.
“While it is my hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the nominees in the usual expeditious manner, please accept, Distinguished Senate President, the assurances of my highest consideration and personal regards.”
Subsequently, in another letter of request, President Tinubu sought confirmation of appointments of three nominees as members of the Governing Board of Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.
