President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has cautioned Minister of Defense, Mohammed Badaru, to refrain from caustic remarks that could cause dissension between the Executive and the Legislature.
Akpabio’s declaration was on the heels of comments attributed to the Defense Minister who expressed strong reservations about the two-day Security Summit proposed by the Senate at plenary.
Badaru had in Abuja on Wednesday during a Ministerial press briefing, said the planned national security summit by the Senate was unnecessary.
Disturbed by the comment, the Senate through its leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, strongly frowned at the comment and admonished the Minister to honour its invitation when invited for the summit.
Bamidele who made reference to the comment while explaining the painstaking consideration the Senate gave to the tax reform bills, said whatever decision the Senate takes at any time, is done in the best interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.
