President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded the name of Dr Tella Adeniran Rahamon to the Senate for consider and approval as the new Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in charge of Osun State.
The President also urged the Senate to consider James Jiya Kolo as replacement for Mr. Daniel James Kolo, who he earlier nominated for appointment as a Commissioner of the Federal Character Commission (FCC) representing Kwara state.
Daniel James Kolo died last month before his appointment was confirmed by the Senate.
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, read Buhari letters of request on the floor of the Senate at plenary.
Lawan referred the two requests to the relevant committees of the Senate for further legislative action. (The Nation)
