THE House of Representatives, on Thursday, expressed disappointment over the failure of President Goodluck Jonathan to inform it of his request for the appointment of special advisers, as contained in Section 151 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
The president had written to the Senate to notify it of his intention to appoint his special advisers with no correspondence to the House of Representatives.
Section 151 of the constitution reads: “The president may appoint any person as a Special Adviser to assist him in the performance of his functions. The number of such Advisers and their remuneration and allowances shall be as prescribed by law or by resolution of the National Assembly.”
The immediate past Minority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila (ACN, Lagos State),drew the attention of the House to the alleged constitutional breach, shouting: “Point of Constitutional Order! Point of Constitutional Order!!”
