We Have Powers to Suspend Recruitment, Lawmakers tell Buhari
Basiru said the National Assembly had the power to suspend the recruitment exercise.
He, however, said Buhari could go to court to challenge the decision of the National Assembly to halt the exercise, if he was not satisfied.
He said, “If the President sees that his powers are being encroached on, he can approach the court of law.
“What we are saying is this, this project, the way you are looking at it is as if it is an exclusively presidential project.
“The conception of the program, its approval and its funding is with the consideration of the National Assembly because we believe it is going to be beneficial for the purpose of addressing the challenges of COVID-19.
