The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has asserted that the current pattern of approvals by the 10th Senate shows that President Bola Tinubu gets whatever he wants.

Naijaonpoint reports that Abdullahi made this statement on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

Abdullahi said the confirmation of Prof Joash Amupitan as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) by the Senate was a mere formality.

According to him, there is no way the Senate would have turned down Tinubu’s request to confirm Amupitan as INEC chairman.

He said, “In all due respect to the National Assembly, we have learnt over time that the Senate confirmation, especially this Senate has declared that whatever the President wants, the President gets.

“So, I think it’s just formality that Amupitan goes to the Senate to be screened. It’s because it’s required, that’s why it’s done. There’s no way he would have been turned back for any reason whatsoever.”

Speaking further, ADC’s spokesman noted that the party is willing to give the new INEC chairman a fair chance to deliver on his promises.

Abdullahi stressed that Nigeria’s electoral challenges are rooted in the human factor, not the absence of infrastructure or technology.
