Senate President, Bukola Saraki in a tweet via his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, had said that ''appointment of service chiefs remained the exclusive function of President Muhammadu Buhari''.
According to THE NATION, Saraki's tweet was reportedly in reaction to President Muhammadu Buhari's pronouncement on Monday that the newly-appointed Service Chiefs would function in acting capacity until the confirmation of their appointments by the Senate.
Following the tweet, social commentators took to social network to school the senate President. While some retorted to calling him colourful names, others reminded Saraki of the ruling of a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, which on July 1, 2013 ruled that any appointment of Service Chiefs by the President without approval of the National Assembly is unconstitutional and illegal.
