President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked his Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly (Senate), Ita Enang. Consequently, former Osun state senator, Babajide Omoworare, has been appointed to take over from Enang who was appointed in 2015.
The appointment was made public on Tuesday in a statement issued by Omoworare. His statement quoted Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to Buhari on Media and Publicity as making the announcement earlier.
“Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has just announced my appointment as a Presidential Aide to Mr. President for the National Assembly (Senate).
“I am grateful to God Almighty and to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari for the opportunity to serve his government as his primary liaison with the Senate. I gladly accept this rare and coveted privilege to advance the administration's legislative agenda, promote its policy priorities in the Senate and foster Mr. President’s constitutional responsibilities in the National Assembly.
“As I resume the helms of President Buhari’s Legislative Office team, I am aware of the importance of ensuring a more productive working relationship between the Executive and the Legislature. I have spent the past two decades working passionately as a parliamentarian, policy strategist, legislative strengthening advocate, and lobbyist.
“Therefore, it is my sincere but humble hope that my knowledge, expertise, and network of contacts in the National Assembly will be positive and outstanding resources to my new office, this administration and the Nigerian nation,” he said.
