Special Adviser to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Media and Publicity,
Laolu Akande, took to his twitter handle to make some clarifications on
the reports of President Buhari proposing to seek emergency powers from
the National Assembly members to revamp the dwindling economy.
The media was yesterday awash with reports from sources within the
presidency that President Buhari will next month send a bill to the
National Assembly to seek for sweeping powers to, among other things,
set aside some extant laws and use executive orders to roll out an
economic recovery package within the next one year.
The bill is reportedly the recommendations from the National Economic
Council chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
According to Akande, the National Economic Council has indeed made some
recommendations which may include legislative amendments and
presidential orders but that such recommendations by NEC have not been
forwarded to President Buhari or the Federal Executive Council.
