“We will continue to do our job, we will continue to do our oversight function,” Obasa had maintained.
Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the resumption of sitting on Monday, publicized the decision of the House, despite pressures from different quarters to have the decision rescinded.
Obasa had said the confirmation followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by an ad-hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Fatai Mojeed.
The speaker applauded the committee for its effectiveness and urged the confirmed nominees to always remember that they are in office to serve the people of the State and not individuals.
It was gathered that some Islamic groups had last week protested alleged lopsidedness in the list of commissioner-nominees submitted to the Assembly by the governor. They had claimed that eight Muslims made the governor’s 39-man list while the rest were Christians.
