The face off between the Senate and Chairman of the Presidential
Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay took a new
direct, as the embattle Chairman reacted angrily to the gag order imposed on
him and other appointees of President Muhammadu Buhari by the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) on matters relating to the National Assembly.
It could be recalled that the APC had in a statement yesterday
asked Sagay, who had been engaged in war of words with the upper chamber of the
National Assembly over a statement he made impugning the integrity of the lawmakers
to stop talking henceforth.
This was part of moves by the party to halt the deterioration in
the relationship between the executive and the National Assembly.
But according to Sagay, the party has no moral standing to tell
him what to do since he was not and appointee of the party but Buhari’s.
However, the Professor of law had insisted that the lawmakers
lacked the powers to invite him.
