Power brokers in President Muhammadu Buhari’s government and the National Assembly met on Friday night to add more political offices to the list of those to be given immunity, SaharaReporters has learnt.
It was gathered that the cabals wanted the House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review to include the Chief Justice of the Federation, the Attorney-General, the Senate President and Speaker.
“They made up their mind last night on the list of political seat to get immunity. This include the Chief Justice of the Federation, the AGF, the Senate President and Speaker. They met last night to add those offices. They have been mooting a law to give them more immunity,” a top source disclosed.
Recall that last Wednesday, the National Assembly Committee on Constitution Review recommended immunity for heads of legislature and judiciary less than one month after it rejected the clause.
The recommendation was contained in the report laid by the committee before the House during plenary on Wednesday.
The presentation of the report by its Chairman and Deputy Speaker, Idris Wase, was witnessed by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, who was admitted into the chamber alongside Minister of Women Affairs, Paullen Tallen, and other women.
