Senate To Go Ahead To Override Jonathan

                              

President Goodluck Jonathan’s rejection of amendments to the 1999 Constitution caused different reactions among members of the National Assembly.
Some have expressed their surprise at the reasons why the president openly vetoed the bill.
Senator Abubakar Yar’Adua (Katsina central) raised a point of order and repeated that the development had to be discussed because of the serious fundamental issues raised by the current leader of the country, which affected the unity of the National Assembly.

Nigeria’s president made his position known in a seven-page letter to David Mark and the House of Representatives speaker, Aminu Tambuwal. Jonathan listed 12 errors in the proposed amendments. 

A principal officer and a Vanguard source said that there were two choices before the National Assembly on the case.

He said either the institution approves the position of Jonathan or goes ahead to override it.
