According to him, reports that he apologized were a misrepresentation of his comments.
Ita Enang said he only apologized to the senate over remarks made by Okoi Obono-Obla, a special assistant to the president on prosecution to a senate committee on Thursday.
“I apologise for his comments. From what I heard, he was not complimentary to the senate,” Mr. Enang said. “We didn’t need to cause more trouble between the presidency and the Senate.”
Mr. Enang, therefore, urged Nigerians to dismiss reports that his apology was on behalf of the president, saying doing so, in this case, “would be terrible”.
“The president has not apologised. It is me that is apologising for the inappropriate action of the person representing the Attorney-General," he said.
